Hello, 

attached the txt-file:

This internal TOSHIBA MK5055GSX Harddisk  (500 GB) apparently is not in
your database.

Also, what I find irritating, when running a long offline test, after
completing 90 % of the test it somehow stops (as shown in the txt-file),
there is no more progress, no matter how long one waits. I wonder if
this is due to damages on the disk, or to the program?
I really would like to get an accurate idea of the status of the disk,
obviously it is an older one, but I would like to keep on using it, but
with minimizing my risks.

However, the short test works, with a "passed" result (shown in the
txt-file).

Thank you!

Greetings,

Philipp
