  "textContent": "For clarity - there is next to nothing on this drive.\n\nPut a spare HD in a PC a few weeks back.\nIt was 100% health, but over the course of a couple of months, it's now just 6%.\n\nHD Sentinal reports:\nThe drive found 988 bad sectors during its self test.\nThere are 1199 weak sectors found on the disk surface. They may be remapped at any time in the later use of the disk.\n5,804 start/stop count, powered on for 1162 days.\n\nI've used HD Sentinel's \"Short Hard Disk test\" which has found what appears to be no errors.\n\nOffline Uncorrectable Sector count: 194\nCurrent Pending Sector count: 193\n\nJust doing a read test now.\n\nShould I just bin this HD?",
