Trying to get some extra life out of this hard drive.

What tool is that?

@milkbytes Spinrite by Grc.com . Looks like an old version (5.0?) however.

However, when I stumble upon a drive with a smallest error log entry, reallocated sector, or caution in the SMART, it goes immediately in the electronics recycle bin.

SSDs are way better.

Woo! Spinrite! Steve Gibson! Grc! Security Now podcast!

Excellent tool. Saved my bacon a lot of times! Worth evey penny.
