I am almost certain that your HDD is failing and if it is in warranty you should get it replaced. That engineer who "fixed" the problem, probably just reset the BIOS. Look for such an option in your BIOS and select it. If you can't find it, then unplug your computer from all power sources (all power cables) and remove your motherboard battery. Leave your system alone for around 30 minutes, reinsert the battery and start your system. See if you get the error again.

HDDs can develop errors even on the same day of their installation or might work under continuous stress for years. Time is simply not a factor in a HDD going bad.
