I'm setting up a mysql replication system. I usually maximize what's left on my stock before I buy. I do badblocks first to all 2nd hand hard drive to make sure it is in good condition before I install an Operating System.

I pick up a 200GB sata hard disk in the stock room and test it using badblocks. I left it in the office doing the test and just check it tomorrow. When I return to check, the report says it found 30 bad blocks.

When I do e2fsck -n -v /dev/sda1, it says "clean". However, badblocks reported 
30 bad blocks

I don't know if I gonna still use it. Would you advise to use it?
