Hard drive failing after 1 year?

[BassHead]

I purchased 2 Seagate BarraCuda 2TB's last year ( not from here) and one of them is giving me this caution? Is this a failing drive and would this error be covered under warranty?

I actually just had to replace a Seagate IronWolf HDD that I use in my NAS (the replacement drive literally just got delivered a minute ago) due to a large and increasing number of bad sectors (thousands).

For a PC drive they suggest you use their SeaTools software which is meant to give you an error code, then you can start an RMA with them to have it replace if it's still under warranty - which you can check on their website using the serial number.

Thank's just downloaded the seatools software will run some tests through that instead, Still has warranty until sept 2021 which is nice to know.
