That's a 3TB drive. I don't have anything big enough to back it up to.
Is there anyway to find out if this error is really serious or just a
run of the mill type error? I would think that if it was a run of the
mill error the drive would handle the error itself and I wouldn't even
see it. Something like marking the area as bad and just not trying to
use it anymore, even for the test.
Thanks. Any advice is appreciated. I need a hard drive guru. ;-)
