Re: How to check health status of my Verbatim hdd
If the data is important - make sure you have a backup.
Period.
"Health Status" is pretty meaningless really.
Having said that, you can check the disk stats with smartctrl.

health status = it means same as crystal disk info, I want to know if my external hdd is a bad condition (high risk of data's loss)

If it's only in one place, then you have a high risk of data loss.

Re: How to check health status of my Verbatim hdd
somebody might know, I don't. I've mentioned before I miss the functionality of old school scsi controllers with this built into the bios. I used to check every so often the bad sector counts and reallocations. With adapters I even fixed a few crashed ide drives and could format OUT bad space that would hang OS level tools. OS level would be great I guess, if it worked...User111 wrote:Can I check some bad cluster if exists? What is the command to do this?

IF the OP means sectors ,
The details are on the page the link goes to, also maybe :from:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/badblocks
Testing for bad sectors
To test for bad sectors in Linux the program badblocks is typically used. badblocks has several different modes to be able to detect bad sectors.
Code: Select all
man badblocks
WARNING< It is very dangerous to run any command without reading the manual, be sure to read it FIRSTgarry% man badblocks
BADBLOCKS(8) System Manager's Manual BADBLOCKS(8)
NAME
badblocks - search a device for bad blocks
SYNOPSIS
badblocks [ -svwnfBX ] [ -b block-size ] [ -c blocks_at_once ] [ -e
max_bad_blocks ] [ -d read_delay_factor ] [ -i input_file ] [ -o
output_file ] [ -p num_passes ] [ -t test_pattern ] device [ last-block
] [ first-block ]
If you do not have a back up made , learn how to do that first, then you can safely test and work on the drive if it has data on it.WARNING
Never use the -w option on a device containing an existing file system.
This option erases data! If you want to do write-mode testing on an
existing file system, use the -n option instead. It is slower, but it
will preserve your data.
