Installed HD Sentinel for the first time and was surprised to see my storage hdd's health after just buying it 2 months ago at a computer store adjacent to SM. I'd like to ask the people more knowledgeable than me when it comes to this kind of situation:
1. Should I be worried about its health?
In terms of performance (speed), I don't think it is affecting as of the moment.
2. Is a screenshot like this enough for a store to consider RMA process if I opt to RMA this for preventive measures?
If possible, I'd like to RMA this before hitting rock bottom with bad sectors.

The drive found 44 bad sectors during its self test.
There are 45 weak sectors found on the disk surface. They may be remapped any time in the later use of the disk.
596 errors occured during data transfer.
Hope someone with/without experience/s on RMA could enlighten about this. Cheers.
