Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

So I ran HDDScan on a SATA hard disk and the results are that it has a few bad blocks and a huge bunch of slow ones. I was wondering if there is any way to mark as bad blocks these which take more than 50 nanoseconds to read data as a workaround to use it for some more time.

nanoseconds? not milliseconds?

Yes sorry, miliseconds. Help anyone?

If you already backupped your data you can do a full erase of the disk,
then scan it again and see if the bad and slow sectors have gone or are still there.
What's the model of HD? Can you show SMART data?

SMART data for [2] Hitachi HTS541616J9SA00 0200 [160.04 GB]
SMART is not supported by this device.
I know I shoud throw to the trash can this crap but I need to work with the computer where it's installed until I can buy a new one.

Edit: I already saved the data and did a low level format before ran HDDScan.
