So originally my WD 160gb hdd tested as having bad sectors. I replaced it with a 1tb Seagate Barracuda which ran fine up until recently. I tried everything and nothing worked, until I replaced the sata cable. Everything is good(for now ). Could the sata cable be the reason why the 160gb said it had bad sectors? I ask because I'm trying to rma the 160gb and was wondering if i should retest it.
