Windows detected a hard disk problem

[Nameless_87]

I just bought the Samsung F3 1TB and have been using it for the last 3 weeks...

Last week in windows it said:

Windows detected a hard disk problem. Back up your files immediately to prevent information loss... etc

Then today it showed it 5 more times.

Is my HDD failing? I bought it only 3 weeks ago!

What can I do and what exactly is happening?

Thanks

well... the F3 samsung is recommended by almost everyone on these forums...

So it is safe to assume that it's a fualty drive and will definitely fail in the near future?
