Sigh, let me try explain again... you appear to be living in 1999 still.

The defects table in a newer hard disk drive consists of two lists: the P-List and the G-List. S.M.A.R.T monitors those lists - it's the entire purpose and reason for checking that.

Your hard drive's SMART G-List (spare sector regions or whatever you wish to call it) should keep track of the bad sector locations and the new allocated spot on the hard drive. It's a hell of a lot faster to look up and doesn't affect your performance. There's about 100 of them available to start off with, which will help cover the first lot of Bad Read locations or I/O errors, before bad sectors start to turn into hard drive data corruptions, which then attempt or fail to recover the old fashioned way (losing performance and drive stablility each time like the older drives did). At which point of time, it's best to backup and replace the drive asap.

That's the only way I can simply try explain it, I don't know why you believe there's not. However, it won't help the topic owner fix the problem if it's physical damage. There currently probably isn't any problem at the moment, SMART was just telling you those allocated spots are at a semi-used state - in other words keep an eye on it to make sure it's not increasing over time and getting worst.

If you have no new bad sectors and that allocate table isn't increasing, then there's nothing to worry about. It's a mere precaution for you to double check ahead of time before any data is losted. If only a few of them are allocated over 5 years or more of use, then that's fine and normal wear and tear.
