I ran HDTunePRO today and saw that my disk has a Current Pending Sector warning:
I read in wikipedia that the lower this attribute is the better and that it is a "Potential indicator of imminent electromechanical failure".
Should I be alarmed?

Make sure you have good current backups, just in case :-) | |||

Its common to have couple of sectors in current pending sector list - as long as the count doesn't increase rapidly in the new few days you should be fine | |||

It sounds like the hard drive thinks two sectors are marginal but your reallocated sector count is zero so it looks like the two make get reallocated. I like how wikipedia explains the two SMART parameters. Also, keep in mind all drives will fail, so only backup the data you want to keep. | |||
