Its been few days that I started to hear some weird noises from the keyboard part ...which I believe is from the HDD...also the transfer speed while copying also has become uncertain..like at one point its 140Mbps then it suddenly drops to some Kbps or bytes....Is my HDD facing some problem ...its a brand new laptop bought just few months ago...and this is the first time I am facing problems...can anyone please help...
Is my HDD failing....should I SMART test it...if yes..how to test HDD to determine if its failing...??

    Reallocated sectors count is yellow meaning that the HDD is failing. You can it replaced for free if the laptop is still under warranty.
    Please remember to include @AnhEZ28 when you want to reply back to my comment so that I can check your response.
    Thank you and have a nice day!
