Open source tools are VERY unlikely to be able to reverse engineer a drives' internal code and structures to be able to converse or read the hardware layer. .Dirkt is right and your opinions otherwise are incorrect, no matter how much you want them not to be. | |

| Dec 7, 2020 at 10:33 | comment | added | Nublia | @Ramhound manufactures' SMART are not opensource, there are cases that SMART can't detect badblocks (superuser.com/questions/462233/…). TestDisk is for data recovery not for detecting badblocks. | |
| Dec 5, 2020 at 2:37 | comment | added | Ramhound | @Nublia - That is exactly the reason I voted to close your question as “too broad”. You really need to narrow the focus of your question. For instance what is wrong with the manufactures SMART utilities or something like TestDisk? | |

| Dec 4, 2020 at 17:09 | comment | added | Nublia | I honestly face true problems with real drives with badblocks. If anyone did not face badblocks drive problems, just ignore my question. But anyway badblocks are there. Why posting opinions trying to persuade me ignore true problems? | |
