I wanted to refund the new harddisk i got since i found a 29 pending sector count and countless badblocks (by hddscan test) last night. I am formatting my new HDD at the time im writing this, but decided to open hdd sentinel and found this? how is this possible?

After formatting is done im going to run a hddsentinel's short self-test and one of hddscan test.

Im just going to use this disk for entertainment (plex) only, so i wont be saving any critical data, is it generally ok to keep using this disk from ur experience?

Edit: Thank you for the all the comments, really appreciate it. I'm going to return it.
