Beg to differ. Remember, drives have reserved storage to remap bad sectors
*before* you ever see a bad sector at the interface. So, by the time you
think you're seeing only 8 bad sectors, you've actually burned through
the reserved sectors--many more have failed than you realize.
Look at the SMART report on the drive; that will tell you how many sectors
have been reallocated and how many spare sectors are left in the G-list
(user microcode remapping).
G'luck,
