well, I'll zero out the drive. I was doing so earlier but unwittingly pulled the drive out when it was half-way done. it's funny, dd started at 15mb/s transfer rate and dropped to 5ish but this time it started a 5ish. On Tue, Jan 17, 2023 at 7:43 PM Michael wrote: > My other drive is constantly

why does the transfer rate of dd slow? When I starte paying attention to it it was about 15MB/s but now (about 2 minutes later) it is 7MB/s (and it is still slowing). On Tue, Jan 17, 2023 at 8:57 AM Michael wrote: > I'lll try 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/{device}' to see if I can rescue > this

I thought creating a gpt partition table would fix it but I was wrong. This time I clicked on the offending drive in the file manager and a 'permission denied' message appeared. So I suppose I will have to chmod it. The proper command would be 'chmod -r 777 {device}'? Wait a second I seem to
