Hi,
What does this mean with the reallocation and is there a way to do it?
It means that the HDD controller detected 3 bad sectors and "replaced" them using the spare sectors on the drive (max 36 in your case)
If the number of "Current Pending Sector Count" is different from 0 it means that more bad sectors got detected and need "replacement" to do that you should run the Seagate diagnostic tool, it seems that they have a new version of the software that doesn't do the replacement and ask to run the Dos diagnostic tool!
Edit: Any increase on the number of bad sectors means that the drive will fail sooner or later.
