Merchant has been instructed by AliExpress to refund me… apparently this has been done. so now we wait for the $$$
FYI. other drives have all passed their check, busy with last drive atm.

It is a paper weight. If you run badblocks and it removes those bad sectors, there is no guarantee that more won’t appear in the near future.

Hi Hi
Mind sharing a suggested configuration to run Badblocks.
planning :
sudo badblocks -swb 4096 -o out.txt /dev/sd?
can i run 2 bddblock jobs at the same time on different drives, anything to worry about.
The drive is in NAS, but not part of any disk pool

The preferred way to run badblocks is through a tmux session, so you can disconnect and reconnect at any time—and split the screen into as many sessions as you have drives.
Thre drawback that… one have to learn at least the basics of tmux, which, to put it politely, is more bearded geek-friendly than user-friendly.
not to worry, am planning to use tmux…
mostly asking comment on the bad blocks command.
noticed my syntax is a bit off.
sudo badblocks -w -s -b 2048 -o out.txt /dev/sd?

Leave it to -b 4096 (4k sector) and you may throw in -c 128 for good measure (I found on my 10-12 TB drives that 128 improved over 64, but that 192 or 256 made no further difference).
thank you
improved as in how.
