hello,I got a cheap SATA to USB external adaptor and used it to look at a 500Gb drive from redundant PC that I'd already got what I wanted from.
Bullseye Xfce tried to auto mount it but baulked over one directory. I mounted partition OK in terminal emulator. Ran badblocks on partition which reported "488251288 bad blocks found" which seems excessive.Might I think that there is something amiss with the USB/SATA adapter thing ?
