The contents of these sectors were moved to the spare area. Based on the number of remapping operations, the health of the disk was decreased in different steps. Based on the number of remapping operations, the bad sectors may form continuous areas. The drive found \1 bad sectors during its self test. Problems occurred during the spin up of the disk \1 times. This can be caused by the disk itself or huge power load (weak power supply). There are \1 weak sectors found on the disk surface. They may be remapped any time in the later use of the disk. Problems occurred between the communication of the disk and the host \1 times. In case of a sudden crash or reboot it is recommended to try a different, short data cable (avoid round cables, use 80 wire standard cables instead). It is recommended to examine the log of the disk regularly. All new problems found will be logged there. The hard disk status is PERFECT.

Hard Disk Sentinel Evaluation Version The registered version of Hard Disk Sentinel offers highest level of data protection by alerts, disk diagnostics, automatic backup (PRO version only), remote management and further functions to test and increase stability and performance of storage devices.\n\nThis demo version should be used for up to 30 days to evaluate some of the most important functions and verify compatibility with the system. After that trial period, you should upgrade to a registered version by purchasing a license or stop using the software.\n\nBenefits of purchasing a licensed version:\n\n- highest level of data protection\n- fast, secure and flexible payment options\n- immediate access to all functions and unlock all features\n- free technical support and help\n- lifetime license, no subscription or renewal costs\n- no restrictions and annoying notices S.M.A.R.T. offset is configured for an attribute used to calculate this value &Select Tray Icon Font Do not allow spin down of disks (numbers by comma, for example 1,2 or * to all) Verify Online Compare S.M.A.R.T. values of this device with others (of the same model) to see if attributes are better or worse than the average Surface Test Analyse disk surface with different methods and tests Disk surface map Temperature and transfer speed Block Damaged Progress Pass Time Est. sectors Test stopped Unable to lock the disk for exclusive use.\nAre you sure you want to test it anyway (NOT recommended)?

Read test Reads the disk surface to verify if all sectors are accessible and readable.\n\nThe test is safe, it does not affect stored data.\n\nDisk problems may remain hidden and revealed disk issues are NOT fixed (like with ScanDisk). WRITE test Overwrites the disk surface with configurable pattern. Forces the analysis of any weak sectors and verifies any hidden problems and fixes them by reallocation of bad sectors (this is drive regeneration).\n\nEnables better use of the disk as after the test the spare area will be used instead of any problematic sectors. WRITE + read test Overwrites the disk surface with configurable pattern and then reads back sector contents, to verify if they are accessible and consistent. Forces the analysis of any weak sectors and verifies any hidden problems and fixes them by reallocation of bad sectors (this is drive regeneration).\n\nEnables better use of the disk as after the test the spare area will be used instead of any problematic sectors. Read + WRITE + read test (refresh data area) Reads stored data from each blocks, writes back the contents and finally reads the information and compare with original contents. By the extensive test, an additional write cycle is used before writing back the contents to improve the efficiency of the error correction (drive regeneration).\n\nThe operation is usually safe for the stored information but data loss may occur if the system is not stable and/or upon power failure, overclocking, memory/power supply/cable problems and other factors.\n\nThe test can be used to refresh the data area of the storage device, without the need of complete erase but it is still recommended to backup important data before this test. Reinitialize disk surface Overwrites the disk surface with special initialization pattern to restore the sectors to default (empty) status and reads back sector contents, to verify if they are accessible and consistent. Forces the analysis of any weak sectors and verifies any hidden problems and fixes them by reallocation of bad sectors (this is drive regeneration).\n\nEnables better use of the disk as after the test the spare area will be used instead of any problematic sectors.\nVery intensive and time-consuming test, especially if the level (the number of overwrite cycles) is set to higher value.\n\nThe simple version of this test is usually (incorrectly) called as low level format by other tools. Sector Order Non-destructive - safe to data Lock drive during test (unmount volumes) Repeat test times Limit testing to specific data blocks First block: Last block: DESTRUCTIVE - all data will be removed Empty data (zeroes) Random data Sector number Extensive read-write-read test with additional write operation Surface reinitialization level Most cases non-destructive (see notes and Help) This test will permanently destroy ALL DATA on the selected drive.\nThe function cannot be undone.\n\nAre you sure you want to perform this test and lose ALL DATA stored on the drive?
