Thanks for all the helpful tips so far. It is a DLTA 307045 (3.5") Don't know whether this is a 75GXP.
It is one of the dreaded models experience shows that all models after this has some kind of problems, no wonder they sold out :)
I'm getting either these:
ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=30583
Which don't stop the dd process.
And these,
ad2: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY, DSC, ERROR> error=40<UNCORRECTABLE> LBA=9156
leading to termination.
Also the transfer rate is terribly slow: (80 KB/s)
I was able to save 18 MB (of 46 GB) (not much so far)
Any other suggestions?
Use the noerror and sync flags to dd, that will get past errors and put in NULL sectors for those you cant read. However it will take a looong time and probably tear off the sorry rests of your magnetic coating on the platters :(
