Re: Dead hard drive somehow got corrupted, linked or slaved to another HDD while using TestDisk


What happened with your disks is really weird. I don't really know what may have caused the problem.
But when you get a SMART error, it's recommended to clone the HDD to a new empty one using ddrescue and to work on the clone once it's done.

Dead hard drive somehow got corrupted, linked or slaved to another HDD while using TestDisk

Hello all,

1st off hope this is the right area and 2nd I am 100% NOT saying or implying that it was TestDisk fault .. :)

I had a Seagate Barracuda 3tb drive fail over a week ago, it was giving out warnings with SMART etc so it was sorta expected to fail at sometime. Anyway of course everything ...
