But SMART is not showing problems:

Questions:

  1. This sectors are unreadable and unwriteable? 
  2. How can I remove the damaged status?
  3. Do you suggest to replace the drive?

thx

In the course of Scanner finding and recovering the damaged file, the drive's firmware may have been able to repair the damaged sector rather than needing to reallocate it.

Personally I would:

  • Take note of the file that was damaged and manually check that the File Scan was actually able to completely recover it (e.g. open it and/or compare it to a backup or copy elsewhere).
  • Force a new scan of that drive again to see if the drive is no longer damaged.
  • If the new scan doesn't find more problems and SMART remains clear then I'd keep using the drive.
  • If I haven't recently, make sure my backups are in working order.
