I have a 500gb drive that I use for server backup which scanner detected had 1 bad sector today.
It's way past rma not that I would for 1 sector so out it came I ran a full check disk repair all came back fine, full format fine and also ran the hardware vendors full diagnostic software on the drive which also wrote zeros to the whole disk all fine, full smart check all fine, so back in it goes so now I let scanner have a bash and re-scan the drive and bam scanner still shows the bad sector.
I find it odd that after running the other software which give the drive a clean bill of health scanner is still detecting the bad sector.
Now I know I can tell scanner the drive is good for now but when it rescans in 7 days it's just going to flag the drive again. So what is scanner detecting that no other software can inc the vendor's drive diag software.
