Hugo's argument appears to be that data reallocation is not as effective as we would like. Yours appears to be very different - claiming a firmware bug because you found an unrecoverable sector is just crazy. > My understanding of reallocation is not the same as Vic's. To which I would merely respond "how much time have you spent working on drive firmware?" I have a long history of embedded devlopment work, and I do have first-hand experience[1] of these systems.
