Guys,

I have plenty of Toshiba hdd`s here, and 90% of them are with many bad sectors.

is there any way to wipe those bads like in some cases in WD (selfscan)?

or thats it? nothing can be done

i wanted to use them for my own or maybe sell them again

Thank you

Not a very good idea... The P-list is rather small, too.

Add defects is just cosmetic... I do it differently anyway.

P.S. my inbox is full and I am too lazy to empty it at the moment.... Maybe next year or in antoher life :D
