During last months, I've been replacing some HDDs from some machines. That disks seemed corrupted, but...
- I've formatted them and tested (using SMART tests, victoria tests and f3read/f3write) without any failure.
- All of them shows no reallocated sectors, but high load/unload cycle count (between 800k and 1800k).
- At least one of them seems to "hang" from time to time, and takes some seconds to be ready.
I guess that the last one (the "lazy" one) should be recycled, but what about the others? Can be used anymore or should be recycled as well?
I have traveled across the universe and through the years to find Her.
Sometimes going all the way is just a start...
