If there are any errors on the drive, I would recommend GNU ``ddrescue``. Do not confuse this with the older (but still maintained) dd_rescue which is the product that inspired the GNU one; the newer one is more capable.It images but skips and continues on error, whereas ``dd`` will simply fail.
Without havingh read the man page of ddrescue, does it do more magic than "dd conv=noerror,sync" ?
