if raw value is only 1 then wait for a few days.if this value remain same or reset back to zero then it is alright.

P.S.remove the serial no. of hdd from the pic(use windows paint to edit image & erase the serial).

the value is just 1. try to copy "large" amount of data to this hdd daily and see whether the Current Pending Sector Count increases or not. if it increases rapidly, back up data first and rma the drive. otherwise you may loose all the data. if it does not increase , you are safe atleast for now. but keep an eye on that value.

What if sector count increases, does it mean all the data is in danger/ chances of hdd may go dead..

if raw value is only 1 then wait for a few days.if this value remain same or reset back to zero then it is alright.

P.S.remove the serial no. of hdd from the pic(use windows paint to edit image & erase the serial).

Thanks for informing, will remove serial no...

Also, what does this mean?
(C7) Ultra DMA CRC Error Count
Current Worst Threshold Data Status
200 200 75 Warning
