I need to know if I should worry about the following or not.

Current Pending Sector Count
Uncorrectable Sector Count

Got a similar problem. Mine is reallocated sectors tho. Bought a new hard drive but I am dreading the whole reinstall job. Moved most of the data off but still have to take the plunge and do the reinstall. At least yours is a data drive and not your C: drive.
 
Hmmm...looks like we have very similar HDD's, and my values are also 100/100 but the health is Good.

PRO TIP: Leaving your computer ON will save your hard drive from damage by eliminating the constant spin up/spin down which might have caused this problem.


PS: This PC has been running 7 Months non-stop*

*There were a few power outages though.
 
Think I will do the same once I put my new drive in. How will this affect my electricity bill?

It should only cost a couple of thousand more a year but its much better than the heartache of loosing all your data.

Edit: It also depends on how many Watts your PSU is and your current PC specs (CPU,GPU)
 
@NomNom:
Full disk scan to see delays. If no delays, I would trust it. In some cases only re-writing affected area removes pending sectors. It happens also to a good drive when power goes off during writing, not neccessary problem with the drive.
