Every other test I've run on the drive seems to calibration retry count > 100 indicate that it's fine; a full error scan shows no damaged blocks, etc. I'm frankly a bit out of my depth here; is the HD Tune error something to be concerned about? Is it worth replacing the drive? I'm on a ThinkPad W520 Windows 7 64-bit.

Download the acronis one for free (Google Acronis SMART) and see if it reports the same. If so, take it back! If not, then it could be interpretation by the software, false positive etc. –Dave Sep 4 '13 at 11:04 I wouldn't take it back. I would do a warranty claim. I would run the Seagate Tool, if it detects an error, just make a wrranty claim. If we are talking about yesterday, yeah, go ahead and just return it. –Ramhound Sep 4 '13 at 12:45 Dave-- thanks for the recommendation; I ran Acronis Drive Monitor and it found nothing wrong with the drive and reports no SMART issues.
