Failed disk - is it still useful?

[Benc]

I replaced failed drive and now I am trying to figure out if it is still good enough for some less important use. I'm running smart test and short test sometimes finishes but long one never got till the end. I usually get error 121, sometimes 117.

This is last info:

Selective self-test flags (0x0):
  After scanning selected spans, do NOT read-scan remainder of disk.
If Selective self-test is pending on power-up, resume after 0 minute delay.

Is it possible to make any conclusion from this numbers, can I try anything else or should I throw it away?

Because of the multi zone error rate and the current pending sectors, I would say that you shouldn't chance it. If the drive is under warranty, send it back for replacement. If it is not under warranty, you should dispose of it.
That is what I would do. I have been burned too many times by a hard drive failure. I just don't take the chance any more.

 

[Benc]

I was hoping it could be used as a occasional transfer drive but I guess bad sectors should be 'stable' (I am not sure of proper expression for this). Anyway, if I can't even finish smart test, that is not an option. Drive is also long out of warranty.

It's dead, Jim.
