HDD is about to fail, bad sectors...
So I have a problem with my HDD (Seagate Barracuda 2TB st2000dm008 7200 RPM) that I bought in May 2020, I've been using it since then, and when I checked it's health in HD sentinel and other programs it showed %4 health like on this screen:
I currently have no issues with it, but I hear clicking (the so-called sound of death or w/e) a lot, and when I right click it takes a lot (5-10) seconds to load things, I also had some corrupted files and I used to go to My Computer and then "Scan this drive". Windows would give me option to repair it, and when that happens, on next reboot it would just repair things in 15 seconds, what I want to say is that I never ran a full CHKDSK scan through the command prompt. I'm writing this because I need your help and your opinion, I ordered a new Toshiba P300 2TB drive that's about to arrive soon, and I'm about to replace this failing hard drive, but before I replace it I would like to give it a shot and run full CHKDSK to see if anything can be fixed which is, highly unlikely. I also forgot to mention that my main system drive is SSD (Samsung 970 EVO Plus) and I'm not sure how can I run CHKDSK on my other failing hard drive which is D:
