Linux utility to do sector scan Like MHDD

[pclab]

Hi

Like the title says. I have tested WHDD. It works for IDE/SATA connected HDD's.
But how about USB drives?
Do you know any utility?
Badblocks??
Thanks

There is a Linux tool called "badblocks", yes. Just don't use the -w switch if you got valuable data on the drive.

It seems that WHDD can deal with USB drives.
Also badblocks works.
Thanks
