Here is Everest ones about "reallocated sectors count":

ID Attribute Description Threshold Value Worst
Data Status
05 Reallocated Sector Count 36 98 98
98 OK: Value is normal

I also check with ActiveSMART saying the raw value is: 98

Arno said it counts down, i had 2 bad-sectors at the past which i
fixed using Seatools. Since that, i haven't had any bad-blocks shown
in chkdsk or Seatools full surface scan.

So what does that values mean?
ID Attribute Description Threshold Value Worst
Data Status
05 Reallocated Sector Count 36 98 98
98 OK: Value is normal

SmartUDM from Dos: Raw: 000000000062h
reallocated sectors: 98 (but how
reliable is it?)

OK, I see the reason for my confusion. In your case the actual raw
value of 98 sectors (=62 hex) coincides with the "percentage" value or
"normalized" value of 98. Pure coincidence.

That looks very likely to me too now. Quite confusing, I agree.

98 bad sectors is a high number. If it does not increase, the
drive may still be fine (there are those that discard a drive
at the first reallocated secotr, I prefer RAID1 and backups).
