Is there a way to turn off ecc in media tools (or somewhere else) so it always ignores the ecc instead of only the last retry?
Because it only seems to be able to read the sectors when ecc is diabled, for large portions of my drive that is.

Thanks.

press ctrl+s you will get options .

I have already done that, I want to turn it off for good.
Or might this not be a smart idea?

Data read with ECC off very often is corrupt.

thanks.
