What do Offline_Uncorrectable and Current_Pending_Sector mean in the context of SMART tests?

ru flag

SMART shows there are 6 Offline_Uncorrectable sectors and 1 Current_Pending_Sector on one of my drives. What do these parameters mean? I failed to find a detailed explanation by Googling. Also, is there any way to know which exact sectors are the problematic ones?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
