HDDScan Results - advice

January 23rd, 2009, 20:26

running HDDScan and found 2 issues - can I get advise please?

the first pic shows SMART log LBA (logical block address) errors from a Fujitsu 146gb SCSI. the drive runs fine and i've never had issues, though the errors concern because there is important data on the drive. is there any software I can run to "fix" the read/write errors? are these bad sectors?

I also get a "range check error" when I try to view the SMART log of a brand new formatted Seagate 36gb SCSI. I get the error both when the drive is partitioned and when it's low-level formatted. can you explain what this error may be? ~ thanks

Range check error is HDDScan error
I don't have enough SCSI drives to properly process all log page values this why HDDScan might have bugs

About SMART for your Fujitsu drive - scan drive's surface - if no bad blocks then the drive should be ok

Doomer, thanks for reply. the Fujitsu is white label unit with no bad blocks from a scan, but I was unsure about these read/write errors. the other is refurb Seagate. what you're saying is you don't have log page values from most Seagate Scsi Hd's? which leads me to the next Q: is HDDScan your application?
