If you use a reasonable format with precise enough timestamps, you
should be able to "weave" entries from separate files back into
a coherent single chronology (assuming all those entries got their
timestamps from the same journald in the first place).

Another possibility is a (few) large file(s) that is/are still open for

As discussed in related threads, there's the `f3` package in Debian
designed specifically for that.
You can try `f3probe /dev/sdX` (or use `f3write` and `f3read` if you
prefer to test at the filesystem level rather than at the block level).

`badblocks` may be convinced that the drive works fine even when
it doesn't.
So, if you want to use `badblocks`, you may want to do it on an
encrypted partition (that covers the whole device) rather than on the
raw device.
