suggestion

At a suggestion, you could put a check for read speed. If each block on the disk is less than 80-70mb/s (time ms), be able to isolate it. Some sectors may not be damaged, but many are worn out. With this check, it would be much better. https://ibb.co/v4TvJF3 (In this photo, i isolate at the end of the process for 'millisecond')

I wanted to create a ticket with the same suggestion. I used to have a program which did just that... Mark each slow sector as bad. If this would mean that I would lose 500 GB out of my 4TB disk I couldn't be happier as that would also mean I have gained 3.5TB as the drive will fail if it keeps going to those sectors. I used to have a program which did this, but that was in the good ol' MS-DOS period.

The program could work as it does now, but it would be soooo nice if it could have such a "sensitive option". I hope you will find some time to implement this and make 2 people happy ;-)

I would really like to see such a feature... It now does not recognise really slow sectors and that's a shame as they will likely fail in the near future and could even worsen the harddisk.
