I have a few days left on my Stablebit Scanner evaluation. A couple days ago, Scanner found a bad sector on a 5TB HDD in the pool. DrivePool removed all the files off that drive - took almost 2 days. So I checked the "bad" 5TB HDD with Windows 10 chkdsk and no errors are found. I checked the S.M.A.R.T. and everything is healthy there too. So, I appreciate Scanner finding a bad sector on my 5TB drive and moving all files on the HDD to other HDDs in the pool, but now I have a blank 5TB HDD that Windows thinks is fine but will not work in DrivePool because Scanner reports 1 bad sector.
Is there some way to "fix" this 5TB HDD so I can use it in DrivePool? Again, chkdsk found no errors so it never attempted to "fix" anything. Given the price of a 5TB HDD, I would like to get in back in service with DrivePool, if possible. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
