No.

The issue is NOT the CRC error, which was from a bad IDE drive cable
from a previous computer where the HD came from but the Reallocated
Sector count warning.

You don't know that.
It's the only source for data corruption and another for performance is-
sues. Not when the drive is in UDMA mode but when the OS dumbs down
to MW-DMA or PIO mode due to too many errors and then there's no Ul-
tra DMA CRC Error recovery anymore and corruption occurs undetected.

It may be back.

Bad sectors do not cause corruption, they either can be read or they
can not. Data loss yes, corruption no.

You are looking for a reason to RMA.
Interface errors should do. One bad dector does not.
