No because you are smart and have frequent backups of your data so you have no need to replace the disk.

rm_

That line on its own might not be anything to worry about (it depends).
Post the entire output of smartctl -a /dev/sdX.

I once read that "UDMA_CRC_Error_Count" more likely means a faulty cable or connector / controller than a soon to die HDD.
Is it located in a local machine of yours? Then I would suggest trying a different SATA port or another cable? Maybe even reseating the plug helps...
But no reliable source of this information on hand right now. :P

It's a hitachi drive, I bet it runs for a few more years yet! 20300 hours power on time isn't really too long.

I've got those SMART error things you have at the bottom on a few of my drives for some years, and nothing has happened yet.

Hello,

If i were you i'll keep an eye on it check every weeks if the number of errors increase or not.

You can also set up a cron that send you the command print by mail.

i wouldn't worry about replacing it. But regular backups are a must, you never really know when a drive can die on you
