Just checked one of my older 3tb drives in my server and its showing has having 1536 bad sectors but ok.

Ive backed everything up so not concerned about the data should I swap it with a spare ive got or wait for it to die?

Currently doing a full 0 and 1 format on it to rebuild it and see if they are really bad or just glitches but based on the age and years "up and spinning" Im assuming its on its way out
 
Well after running a format and badblocks its detected another 400 blocks that have failed so its being swapped tonight
