FUCK WD

simply restore from a backup

Rekt

this.
seagate drives are fine. thing is that idiots don't know how to make drives last for a very long time.

uninstall Microsoft's Windows next time

I bought a brand new 10TB WD drive for $110. Gotta love ebay.

A few years ago I got a GTX 970 for $20 that was sold as "broken for parts". Got it in the mail and it worked fine no problems.

Not sure if the Seagate testing tools are as comprehensive as WDs, but this has been my experience.

I work refurb for big companies and hospitals so we get their refuse.

Also HD tune is shitware.

Use ddrescue and review your log in ddrescueview so you can get a zoomable tit-for-tat image of where the bad sectors are and how to zap them if need be.
dmesg will print nasty if your drive has a hole in the surface or can't reallocate.

HOW DO YOU UNDO A CHKDSK MASSACRE THAT MARKED 1TB OF FILES AS EMPTY SPACE WITH ONLY ITS SPOTFIX.LOG

Depower safely

Plug in a liveCD for ubuntu or whatever distro you have on hand

Check the SMART values of your drive here.
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX

Post them in a

Never ever ever use NTFS again.

Meant to say post them in a code block so they align proper with monospace and I can read them.

I wish this board was still a guro board.

SMART IS FINE THE DISK HAS NO ACTUAL PROBLEMS

CHKDSK WENT RETARDED BUT LEFT A LOG OF WHAT IT DID WITH THE STARTING HEX ADDRESS FOR EACH OF THE 1500 FILES IT MURDERED
BEING NTFS THE FILES SURELY ARENT CONTIGUOUS SO HOW THE FUCK DO YOU PROGRAMMATICALLY REBUILD THE FILETABLE WITH THE SPOTFIX LOG

Attached: 1531345921176.jpg (720x833, 27K)

Post your SMART anyway.

Did you interrupt CHKDSK at all while it was operating? NTFS is not atomic about FSCK'ing, you will fuck it if you hard shut down a CHKDSK.

Mount it R e a d Only in NTFS-3G on a linux system.
Get it on a liveCD.
Windows uses a bunch of retarded file based logging so they don't have to extend NTFS but it ends up like this shit every time.

Have you ever used WD Purple drives? They're intended to be used for security cameras and I'm curious about how well such a specialized drive would perform at the task it's been designed for.

They're binned for higher endurance with the heads floating the platter 24/7 writing.

DISK ISNT HOOKED UP PRESENTLY, USB EXTERNAL
CHKDSK WAS INVOKED AS /SCAN THEN /SPOTFIX ON WINDOWS 10, COMPLETED NORMALLY
NO FURTHER WRITES SO EVERYTHING IS STILL THERE

THE PROBLEM IS THE LOG ONLY GIVES A STARTING ADDRESS FOR EACH FILE, WHERE ARE THE ADDRESSES FOR THE FRAGMENTS ALL OVER THE DISK PERTAINING TO THE SAME FILE
FUCKING MICROSOFT LOG IT VERBOSE FFS

Are you going to even try to get me some hard info or are you just going to scream at the offline disk all night?

The starting address is useless for anything precisely for the reason you say. Don't fret over it.

Get me the text.

IVE DONE RAW RECOVERY AND FILE CARVING ON NTFS
ITS A PAIN IN THE FUCKIN ASS AND SO TIME CONSUMING RATHER THROW THE DISK OUT THE WINDOW

CHKDSK NEEDS TO LOG WITH ENOUGH INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN SIMPLY ONECLICK UNDO ITS LAST CHANGES
I BET SOME ASSHOLE DEEP IN MICROSOFT KNOWS A WAY, NOBODY AT THEIR DO THE NEEDFUL SUPPORT KNOWS FOR DAMN SURE

haha, yeah me too fellow oldfag!

Good.

Migrate your data off of NTFS ASAP and use a linux filesystem.

At least EXT4. NTFS is nothing but central points of failure if one single 4k block can take out your entire 1TB disk.
Make backups.

It's quite funny to see these defective people freaking out about a bad sector - yes, like just one bad sector out of several hundred BILLION of them on most hard drives nowadays.

One fucking bad sector and they lose their shit in ways that even autistic kids with epilepsy look upon and think "Damn, that person is seriously fucked up."

You kids, always good for a laugh.

just partition around it
they are now sneakernet transporters, or tertiary backups
1st guy lost 10 of 500, second lonst 60 of 1000
big deal!

but Seagate are time bomb? buy modern new hgst or wd ae gold data center

>client has hard drive mounted to ceiling of 40ft warehouse for security camera backups
>tell them I can't take it down because not gonna be liable if it falls
>other guy goes up and takes it down

fuckin seagate!

Please stop spouting shit you have no clue about, thanks.

Exactly. If it's just one or two bad spots you can partition to avoid them or (better IMO) remap with a low-level tool.

I used to love MHDD, what's the best modern equivalent?

buy an ssd

also why do you even care, you don't have error correction? you don't have raid? hm.

>have same HDD for almost 10 years now
Should I be scared?

>usb

I've had 3 out of 5 Seagate harddives fail within a year

You should have backups.
The chance of failure does increase over the years, but you should be ready for the HDD to fail at any time regardless of how old or new it is.

Had 8 bad sectors few months ago.

Been using a seagate 2tb since 2014, still going strong

Have 22 years old server at work, never turned off, original 2.1gb IBM scsi drives still work flawlessly.

lucky bastard

>I used to love MHDD, what's the best modern equivalent?

MHDD works just fine today. You sound like some magical new hard drive technology has come into existence that renders the tool useless, which of course is ludicrous. You might have to put an SATA controller in ATA compatibility mode since it can't work in AHCI/SATA mode (can't see the drives).

Been using MHDD for many years now, SpinRite too, and several other tools for drive maintenance and testing, no reason to use anything else.

who the fuck still uses external disc drives? what are you a fucking povo

Nothing wrong with WD.
