Dmitry:

Is persistent remap done here? One that permanently hides the bad sectors even if partitioned and formatted many times?

I was asking that question because I have once used ERASE WAITS but when I repartitioned and reformatted the HDD, the WAITS reappeared.

That depends on many things :-), maybe you have broken HDD or power supply is "not good".

Thank you for your answer, Master Dmitry.

But I used PC3K to diagnose the firmware zone, controller, etc. Everything's fine. So there are no maybe's for this drive.

There are many other very interesting things in the drive like platters, motor, heads...
