[QUOTE="aroy, post: 324165, member: 16090"] 1. Try using USB3 external 2.5 inch drives. If you have USB3 on your computer (my desktop MB does not, but I installed a USB3 card), the HDD to external drive is as fast and at times faster than SATA to SATA in the Desktop. 2. Spinrite was fine when the HDD sizes were small. With 500GB HDD it will take at least 20 hours to perform a thorough diagnostic scan (read/write cycle). What is faster is to just copy the HDD to another formatted one, and then format and copy it back. [/QUOTE]
