Here is an MS article that discusses the error (and some solutions).

NTFS Directory Corruption with Frequent File Creation

Never seen that particular error m'self.

I've had a couple of newish drives that have started hiccoughing at around the 6-month mark. If my diagnostics don't show anything stupidly obvious or there are SMART errors I copy any stuff over, bin 'em and get a new drive (I prefer WD).

Although I'm of a generation that viewed hard drives like pearls, they are now so (relatively) cheap that spending 21 hours on a surface scan (which usually isn't much help anyway) just isn't worth it.
