Pls let me know if i need to replace this har disk or not. The drive is in RAID 1 currently?

Shalom,

Yes you need to replace it. These messages are almost always accurate. Since you are raid 1 you could simply wait for it to fail, but this might impede system peformance as there is i/o to a disk that may not be able to handle it.

Best to be proactive and replace it ASAP.
