Greetings! Recently I tried copying files from my WD Elements 4TB and noticed some files get stuck. Using Gnome Disks utility I found out I have around 256 bad sectors on the drive. I backed everything I could and I'm getting ready to fully scan drive with badblocks (or something similar). The question is - will that drive still be usable after repair of bad sectors or should I just toss it away and move on? Thanks for answers.
