Almost every EIDE or SATA hard disk includes S.M.A.R.T. data. That information is collected
by the drive itself and contains data that the manufacturer considered relevant to check reliability.
The data is made up of several attributes that have a current value, a worst one, a threshold, some raw data,
and some flags. Basically, when any attribute's current value is below its threshold, the hard disk is
considered unreliable and likely to fail. By using several techniques, this report tries to give a wider
range of information, basing its analysis on advanced comparisons with normal values based on real
hard disks and on expert-like checks. The final results are not to be taken as an absolute truth, but
they are almost as good as a professional expert advice about your hard disk status.
Your hard disk is a ST9500420AS with firmware D005SDM1.
The average temperature for this hard disk model is 39°C (min=28°C max=50°C) and yours is 38°C.
Troubled attributes:
BLOCKING ISSUE : your hard disk has 2 pending sectors. Those are sectors that couldn't be properly read and that the hard disk logic is waiting for a write operation to try to remap to a spare sector (if available). According to the Reallocated Sector Count attribute, your hard disk seems to have available spare sectors. A simple disk surface scan won't be enough to force the remap operation. You need a read/write surface scan to remap the sector. The best option should be a tool that knows about what should be read from that sector so that it has some option to apply the best fix to the missing data.
BLOCKING ISSUE : your hard disk has 2 offline uncorrectable sectors. Those are sectors that an offline scanning found as unreadable. Offline scanning is a process that can be automatically started by the hard disk logic when a long enough idle period is detected or that can be forced by some tool. Those unreadable sectors are identified and the hard disk logic is waiting for a write command that will overwrite them to try to remap them to spare sectors (if available). According to the Reallocated Sector Count attribute, your hard disk seems to have available spare sectors. A simple disk surface scan won't be enough to force the remap operation.

NOTE : your hard disk Power On Hours Count attribute current value (78) is below the normal range (96 - 100) reported for your specific hard disk model. Basically your hard disk was powered on for more than the maximum time the average user did. This means that either all of the reports collected are from hard disks that were not powered on for too long (this is realistic for recent models) or that your hard disk is becoming old. Usually this is not considered as a pre-failure advisory, but you should check whether you want to replace the hardware or keep an eye on its performances over time.
The overall fitness for this drive is 0%.
The overall performance for this drive is 75%.

Troubled attributes:
Attribute Airflow Temperature failed in the past. Its current value is 62, the worst value was 41 and the threshold is 45.
According to the manufacturer, this is an advisory condition.
