Toshiba P300 - HDWD110 - very slow data reading

[Pi0tR]

Hi i have Toshiba P300 - HDWD110
I need to create a binary copy, jednak odczyt danych z dysku jest na poziomie 133kb/s

zdaje sobie sprawe ze dysk jest w nie najlepszej kondycji, ale moze jednak mozna cos z tym zrobic ?

[michael chiklis]

Your drive has bad sectors!
Slow reading very likely is due to bad sector remap process (firmware function), that interferes with cloning process.
You should turn off remapping via terminal by using serial RS232 adaptor ("SP" command).

ok but i have only two pins

Photo connecteur.JPG (1.92 KiB) Viewed 12712 times

I think these are TX and RX pins
what about GND ?
I should use 1.8V or 3.3V ?

[michael chiklis]

Sorry, this is not a true Toshiba drive, it is Hitachi (ARM series) manufactured.
It doesn't have serial connection, the only way to solve the issue is to clean G-list with professional tools and hope that heads are not weak/dead.

MRT can do this ?

and hope that heads are not weak/dead.

heads swap help?

[michael chiklis]

MRT has the option to clear g-list of Hitachi ARM drives, but i don't know how effective it will be.
It depends on the drive, if it has weak heads it will be necessary to swap them.
Also, surface may be very degraded, reading speed in this case can be still slow after head swap.

How does your drive behave during cloning?
Does it read very slow on every zones or only on some?
Do you ear head clicking/scratching sounds while is reading slowly?
Have you tried to clone in reverse mode (from last to first LBA), and how does it behave ?

I don't hear anything disturbing

backwaord imaging in ddrescue looks like this

[Pi0tR]

18gb and look like this

[michael chiklis]

It seem to be that your drive has still working heads, it has damaged surface in some zones.
I would continue to clone in reverse mode... i think using DDRescue is your best option without professional tools.
If possible, jump bad sectors (example 10000 LBAs jump on bads encountered) as fast as you can (use low read timings, example 200 ms) on 1st pass... on 2nd pass you may increase read timing and reduce jump.

P.S.
I don't know if this settings can be set on DDRescue, i don't use it.
As i know, HddSuperClone (which is a GNU linux utility based on DDRescue algorithm) can set this options, and can let you set also which sectors do not need to be cloned because do not contain any useful data (slax area)... but for this option you will need to use it combined with DMDE.

ok im recive my MRT card and im run it witch this Toshiba
What is the way to handle this disk so that it can quickly read the data on it?
it is my first time witch this tools

[michael chiklis]

I don't teach or do any tutorial on how to use mrt, but you can contact tech staff to help you.
I suggest to start first with fw backup of your drive.

ok im trying to clear G-List unfortunetly MRT Dont support 3.5' Hitachi ARM disk now
Is clearing the G-List the only solution?

A bit of google tells me Toshiba P300 these are relabeled Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000
in my storage i have 100% working Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.C 1TB
Is it a good idea to heads swap ??

What?
Hitachi ARM drives are already supported by MRT.
Just select 7210DLE6 family and tick "Teck-Key detection" option.

Before doing any changes, do first fw backup (SA+ROM+NVRAM), ask to mrt tech support if you are not sure of what are you going to do.
You might contact "William MRT technician" on skype.

Yes, we all know that... i already wrote this above
https://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php ... 98#p306598

[michael chiklis]

PC3000 has an option to disable reallocation on ram, i think this is the proper way to solve the issue of your drive.
Unfortunately mrt doesn't have such option.

G-list clearing it might not help, it even can make things worse if heads can't write properly.

unfortunately, without success, it still reads data at a speed of 4-8kb/s

[michael chiklis]

That's what i thought, but before thinking to swap heads, you should try to stop reallocation process.
You could try to load a LDR on ram, i think you can do that with "write ram in batches" option, but i don't remember if that option does really work.
As many mrt users already know, mrt has a lot of bugs, Toshiba and Hitachi utilitys are very poorly supported... for some reason mrt does research only on WD and Seagate solutions.
Ask to mrt tech support if and how to load LDR of hitachi arm, because in the past it never worked for me.


P.S.
Do also backup RAM

If it is a head releated issue, you might start Data Explorer for start cloning process by doing head map and virtually turn off heads that you suspect are bad/weak.
If one head has problems, this can help you to clone all other surfaces at good speed.
To do this, you must keep fw utility opened.
I suggest to use very low reading timings in DE (example 150 ms), and tick software reset and set it to 80 ms, untick drive repower.
It that doesn't help try also hardware reset (example 200 ms).
Set also large jumps (example 1.000.000) on bad and slow sectors.

Clone on a 3th drive, please do not overwrite on the destination drive that you've used with DDrescue!

[Pi0tR]

ok probably i have a small success
im restart MRT software and my LAB-PC
im create new data recovery case in mrt
reads a small portion of data
create head map
and finally shutdown head 1
now im read 40-60mb/s

[michael chiklis]

Seem that head 1 is faulty then.
Are you cloning drive to drive or drive to image?

MRT when clones via image doesn't show steady speed, but when you clone drive to drive then speed is pretty stable (if heads are good).
40-60 MB/s doesn't seem to be steady speed and is also pretty slow if your cloning drive to drive, in this case you might have another head with some issue (weak head).
40-60 MB/s cloning speed it might be normal if you are doing drive to image clone.

[Pi0tR]

im cloning drive to image
im read all via head 0 but i steel dont have half data

Screenshot (3).png (16.2 KiB) Viewed 11043 times

probably the data for which head 1 is responsible

what should I do now? replacing heads?

currently reading data marked "Skip when reading" as using head 1
