You are using F3 drive architecture commands on a classic architecture drive. Does it make sense doing so?

you are sure that the disk has this problem?

In the terminal should look something like,

"CE Log ErrCode=xx LBA=xxxxxxx Type=5 Add To Pending xxxxxxx"


If there (CE log err), but dangerous if the disk has other problems....
