Handling a defective drive can be done by different methods, and the one I wrote is about fine to judge if you can "safety" re-use the drive or not. I’ve then overwrote them again and they became reallocated sectors.Ĭan having the sectors marked as reallocated be enough to prevent the damage from expanding, or is it better to partition the disk to exclude the affected areas why you seems to want to be careful with this drive! we have to hammer it to judge if it is re-usable.
#Current pending sector count full
After this all the pending sectors became reallocated sectors for a total of 632.ĥ) Connecting the disk directly to the Sata port of the laptop, I’ve performed an Ata Secure erase command using Hdparm.Ħ) I’ve rerun a full read test with HD Sentinel which detected 8 bad sectors in Block 6804, the very same detected and fixed before. Only recently have I been able to deal with this drive, a few updates:ġ) After a month since the 216 pending write sectors were detected, 8 reallocated sectors were added.Ģ) A few days ago I’ve connected the disk using a Usb > Sata adapter and after a few read-write tests copying large files, the total pending sectors count increased to 624.ģ) I’ve performed a full read test with HD Sentinel that detected 3 damaged blocks: Bland 8244 ( see image)Ĥ) Using the "Disk repair" function of HD Sentinel I’ve overwritten only the blocks above and the contiguous ones. God knows what happened, perhaps Joe Pesci does, too, but both are pretty quick to unleash their wrath so if I were you I wouldn't dare asking. Perhaps you share an unfortunate congenital infirmity with the titular protagonist of the novelette Evguenie Sokolov by french singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, who becomes a famous abstract painter because his formidable flatulences impulse a peculiar shaking on his painting strokes.
Perhaps you sneezed in your elbow as they recommend on the “new normal” TV, while wearing latex gloves with sticky hydroalcoolic gel residues which got stuck between the keyboard and the touchpad and pulled the computer. (Some get drunk to remember, some get drunk to forget.) Perhaps you lended the computer once to a not-so-careful friend. Perhaps you were drunk once in a while, and forgot. I suppose that the sensitivity varies between manufacturers / models. The laptop where the disk in question is mounted has always been sitting on a table so, what is the reason of the G-Sense errors ?ĭepends how sensitive that is. is installed, they are mostly located near the beginning), then deleting the current partition(s) and creating a new one beyond the damaged area, with at least 1GB of safety margin, may allow to squeeze some more life out of it, for non-critical data (for instance : to play media files on TV, or to bring copies of files on a trip.). If there's one damaged spot or strip near the beginning (which is often the case for a system drive, since odds are high that a system file is being accessed when there's a shock, and system files being written first when the O.S. If there are random errors all over the surface, I would say that the drive is no longer usable for anything, period. Then check how those errors are distributed. That would be the first thing to do (I would do that with HD Sentinel, but only because I have little experience with Victoria, if it indeed allows to export the complete list of errors then it's just as good for that purpose). I also suspect that those Toshiba are more accurate at not creating "false" errors in SMART. (but I doubt head fail will occur when looking at your current SMART) Killing head or bin it is the same result, so burn it and made it fail now. full read it with Victoria, save the result with slow/error sectors, and show full chart (untick Grid option) go show SMART, look if pending is fall at 0 and if so do next maybe let the drive plugged and idle for about 3-4 hours after those three erase pass if your drive is doing something after a write pass (noise, touch it), let it finish before starting next pass done three full write with Victoria (+option write LBA num) Often pending without reallocated means that you can restore them, and that they are maybe logical errors.ĭo some tests and only then conclude if bin or re-use, maybe the defect part is only at one spot that you can exclude with right partitioning.īut yes, and depending of the results, the drive is not safe to store critical data. From my opinion, this SMART looks not critical to directly bin it without trying.
