Sformat is the best SCSI disk tool, I came across in the last 20 years.
|
|
It is able to repair and format nearly any disk, as long as its heads
|
|
are still in working condition and a few percent of its blocks are writable.
|
|
Once you have learned to use it, you will never think of using something else.
|
|
Formating a disk with sformat does not only send a scsi-format command to the disk,
|
|
but also make a detailed surface analysis after formating. The defect lists are
|
|
updated, and you come out with a reliable disk, again. Thanks Joerg.

On the other side, like with any other powerful tool, you have to invest some time in learning.
|
|
Well invested time.
