ELIJAHG0 Thanks for the reply. I have had reallocated blocks on many of my drives, some from years back. According to hard disk manufacturers, it only really becomes a problem if thousands of reallocations are occurring, not one or two. I've dealt with a fair number of both Macs and PC's in my time, easily in the 4-500 range. obviously nothing like you, but quite a few. I've only known two hard disks fail, one WD drive in my old Performa 6400, and a drive in a MacBook that was knocked off a table. A Seagate drive in my old G5 had troubles, it made that taletale whiiir click whiiir click sound as it's reallocating blocks. But, it still goes perfectly. I was just pointing out that the drive isn't going to fail imminently just because of a few bad blocks. Only when it gets into the thousands it needs to be addressed. (Version 1.0.0B1) |
