What does the hard disk seek error rate mean? How to deal with it?

Hard disk seek refers to the act of positioning the head to a specified track for reading and writing. If there is a problem with the servo system of the head motor, the positioning accuracy of the head will decrease, further reducing the reading and writing performance of the hard disk, and even being unable to position in serious cases. The possible reasons for the seek error are the aging, failure or other reasons of the head servo system.

Seek error is one of the physical faults of hard disk mechanical system (solid state disk does not have this problem), which cannot be eliminated by software repair and can only be repaired or replaced. If 07 items are read by the detection tool, most of them indicate that the hard disk has an abnormal seek event. If the reading continues to increase or exceed the threshold for a period of time, it is recommended to back up the data as soon as possible.
