I have a 2 TB WD USB drive that I formated with NTFS. I have a rather extensive movie/TV library on it for my plex media server, and I am getting read errors. I hope I haven't lost all of that data! It has been attached to one of my Netgear wireless access points, hence the need for NTFS.

fdisk -l gives for the drive
/dev/sdc1 2048 3906963455 1953480704 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

I tried running smartctl on the device, (which is now plugged into a usb 3.0 port on my laptop) and got this error after a few tests

I noticed this in the attributes section of smartctl -

Any thoughts on how I can fix this drive, or do I need to get a new one? What is the best way to copy the contents of the drive with these errors to a new drive?

Thanks!
