Hi there,
I picked up a couple of these drives last week and have been stress testing them before I stick them in a NAS. I've run DBAN and am currently running a 4 pass badblocks. However, from the threads I've read so far I wasn't expecting it to take this long. Current elapsed time on two 2TB drives is 5 days 20 hours with the last leg of pass number 4 to go.
I'm using an X9SCL with PartedMagic. I fired off two instances of badblocks in parallel using the following command:
So far no errors have been reported but I wanted to check that this runtime was expected.
Thanks.
