The error can cause drive corruption and permanent disk failure leading to data loss.ĮCC is Error Checking and Correction and the Uncorrectable ECC Count should record the number of times a data transfer within the drive had an error that was unable to be corrected by the ECC algorithm. parameter that indicates a number of uncorrectable errors while reading/writing a sector on the hard drive. ID 198 (0xC6) Uncorrectable Pending Sector Count is a critical S.M.A.R.T. You should, however, always make backups, because the hard drive might fail. How many uncorrectable sectors are acceptable?Īccording to CrystalDiskInfo there are 13 uncorrectable sectors which unfortunately cannot be fixed and my advice will be to backup the audiobooks on another data carrier and to continue using the drive.
