Hi,
is your hard drive a Western Digital?
This type of hdd often suffer of slow access speed when bad sectors grow up.
With professional tools is possible to solve this issue and clone fast after.

It might be also possible that the hard drive has weak heads (or some bad heads).
Need to check the drive physically with a correct diagnosis to determine what the real problem is.


Ciao,
il tuo disco rigido è un Western Digital per caso?
Questo tipo di hdd spesso soffre di una bassa velocità di accesso quando cominciano a formarsi dei danni ai settori.
Con strumenti professionali è possibile risolvere questo problema e clonare rapidamente dopo.

Potrebbe anche essere possibile che il disco rigido abbia qualche testina debole (o testine difettose).
È necessario controllare fisicamente l'unità con una diagnosi corretta per determinare quale sia il vero problema.

Hi sorry to bump in this thread like this but I have a WD with the same problem?
Which professional tools are needed?

[pclab]

Pro tools are PC3000 or MRT or DFL.

Eventually you can add Deepspar for disk imaging and a cheaper but even a good one is HDDsuperclone.

But most important: knowledge of what are you doing. You can have a scalpel but that doesn't make you a doctor.

Depending on the model, HDDSuperClone (incorporating HDDSuperTool) may have a solution for the "slow responding" problem.
