It's not. You have a Seagate, after all, and those are good only as long
as trash can is considered :)


But anyway, it's not new.

It has bad sectors, a small amount compared to the drive size.

And you had some problems with the drive in the past, which could be a
bad SATA cable, but could be the drive itself:

Assuming you make backups, I'd call this drive servicable. I'd replace
it sooner or later, because it has bad sectors, but it won't be the
first priority.
