Comment:
one of my three Saegate hard drives have Reallocated Sectors Count data "2". other two have "0". is this "2" something to worry about? is there something wrong with my drive,because it's "2"?

Two re-allocated sectors is not bad or unusual. They were probably there coming from the factory, caused by minor imperfections in one of the platters. If they start increasing, then you have a problem.
Do yourself a favor BACKUP!
