well, i start enjoying the good half of my files... ;-) i mean, if ddrescue goes on at that speed, it will take at least 30 days to complete... and (if i'm not wrong) i'm not guaranteed that ddrescue will get all files. I'll get an image with zeroed holes in it corresponding to the bad blocks that ddrescue couldn't read.
