In addition, MBR cannot support more than 4 primary partitions on a single disk. This led to a problem: MBR technology supports the operation of drives up to only 2 TB. But with the growth of computing power, the need for large amounts of disk memory has grown. MBR was developed in the 1980s, and at that time and for several decades, it satisfied all customer needs. These two styles are good in their way and at certain times. In this case, the question arises, what about the accumulated data? You will find out about all this here! GPT partition style vs MBR This is due to a number of system errors.

But the hard drive should be initialized manually immediately since Windows will not do this automatically.Īlso, disks that were in use and with a bunch of data sometimes need to be initialized. Some believe that it is enough to insert it and screw it in, and the system itself will recognize the device.

But these were in the 5-10% health range, so already recorded numerous problems).

(there is very small chance, but found on some older drives that they could not update the error-counters at all, so the S.M.A.R.T. You may even use multiple times: now and/or after some tests, just to verify if the status changes at all, error-counters increase or not. So please use Report menu -> Send test report to developer option. Would be nice to see the complete status of the drive, as in such cases, 100% health sounds really weird and interesting. Hopefully with that, the drive can be better: its health will likely degrade as new problems will be detected - but the important is to make it stable, better to use, reveal and stabilize problems. It is a destructive one (performs complete overwrite numerous times with initializaion patterns and then clearing) but generally the best way to force the hard disk to stabilize the problems, even problems which are currently not yet detected (if they located on sectors not really used where they could remain hidden for long time). This way you can verify if the end of the drive is better or not.ģ) if there is no change, I'd recommend to try the Disk menu -> Surface test -> Reinitialize disk surface test In this panel, you may enable the "Sequential backward test" and then unselect the default "Sequential test" option. Alternatively you may limit testing to specific blocks, for example only last 50% of the drive (by configuring first block = 5000)įor this, please select Disk menu -> Surface test and (after selecting the drive and the appropriate test method) select Configuration tab.
If it's an external drive, I'd try to connect on different USB slot, maybe a powered USB hub (as it is very common that USB drives may not receive enough power on a single connection) or try to remove from the enclosure and connect to internal port.Ģ) try starting the test backwards, to start on the last sector and advance to the first one, to verify if the end of the drive is better - or things are similar. If it's an internal drive, I'd connect with external USB adapter/docking station. If there is no real advance for 20 hours, personally I'd try to stop and tryġ) connecting the drive differently, to eliminate possible issues with cables, connections, power source. It is possible that the whole surface is so seriously hard (slow) to process - but it is possible that the drive will pass the problematic area very soon and begin working correctly.
It is hard to tell how long it will take, how big area is affected. During that, the surface test also seems "stuck", waiting for the response of the drive. However, as we begin using, more and more problems revealed - and yes, on problematic sectors, the drive can advance only very-very slowly or may even stuck for very long time. When this happens and we begin using the drive, yes, 100% may be displayed - as previously no problems recorded and the drive seemed perfect. Generally the Disk Repair test designed to repair some, minor problems, for example 1-2 weak sectors, without the need to perform complete reinitialization, as described atīut it seems, in this case, the drive may experienced some problems (for example a mechanical shock, vibration, over-voltage or so). Would be nice to see the complete, current status of the drive. Can you please use Report menu -> Send test report to developer option?
