Hi Christian,

Thanks for your detailed response.

(197) Current_Pending_Sector is set to 1 for the last few weeks. Maybe that
sector refers to this one where the read fails intermittently? I have run
several extended checks since this error appeared, hoping that it would get
remapped, and (5) Reallocated_Sector_Ct will bump up. Unfortunately, that
didn't happen. Not sure if it's because of the intermittent nature of the
failure.

In the SMART attributes section, (198) Offline_Uncorrectable is set to 6
for the last few weeks. Also, I am curious what's that related to.

Attached. Didn't pass '-q noserial' intentionally if that helps you in any
way.
