If the disk has bad sectors, is it very bad?
In general, they offer to buy a hard drive with bad sectors, the scan result is 32 warnings and 8 errors.
Terabyte hard, how bad is that?
What do these broken sectors do, how dangerous are they? Can files get into them and thereby be damaged? or will he just write them into entire sectors and that's it? Explain, please, in the gland is weak.

_Theoretically_ there can be a disk with several broken sectors, which will work for quite a long time. For such a case, there is a program (the name flew out), which, by repeatedly trying to read / write to bad sectors, marks them as non-working and they are no longer accessed, and the disk continues to work. But that's pretty rare luck.
I'll tell you more, there are bad sectors on any disk. They're just in disguise.
If the broken ones are all over the disk, then yes, this is bad. If in a certain place, then just do not use this area.
I have a disk with bad sectors in my computer that has been living for the fifth year and nothing ... I just don’t write anything important on it ... In general, of course, I don’t advise taking such a disk ... except perhaps for a penny and for not important information
For half a year I used a disk that was pretty green and with broken sectors (according to Victoria). True, before that I processed it with my program - Disk Revival (posted on the Internet). Of course, I regularly backed up all the important information to the cloud.
