but a 8tb drive ??? is it under warranty ? they are not old ?
abdolah:
Thanks for the suggestion I will try them
Yes it's not under warranty
Warranty ended in 2023

The HDSentinel surface scan you can track if the amount if bad sectors increases.
This will indicate a non fixable problem.
CaptDon:
Don't bother restoring sectors marked bad. You have 8TB, do you really need the space lost to bad sectors? Why can't you initialize the drive? are the bad sectors in the boot sector or fat table area? Probably write it off as unreliable, I wouldn't trust my data being stored on it.
