What about sectors 85,557,313 - 85,557,343? If there were a 4K issue, why weren't there 8 consecutive LBAs in the log? I was more thinking along the lines that SSD smallest unit that can be read is a page, on lower level, you can request a sector but to get that an entire page is read. I think thes...

This seems very similar to the 4K sector issue you observed earlier Franc: https://www.grc.com/x/news.exe/2024.01.12870evobad.log.gz?cmd=article&group=grc.spinrite.dev&item=53528&part=2&utag=&/2024.01.12870evobad.log.gz In this case it's a SSD with as far as I can tell a 16K page...

Of course, developers have the right to decide whether to provide a DEMO code, which is just a string of numbers.

But please do not base yourself on a moral level and baselessly accuse an applicant of illegal or deceptive behavior.

I do this where?

The technical version supports more data types and other unique features. I just wanted to test it. Maybe the technical version has better data recovery capabilities. This has nothing to do with who will use this software... If it is really useful, wouldn't they selling to individual users? I'm con...

I got one now that logs. But still the wrong one found a higher resolution one now. So will go buy that one too.

Perhaps also mildly interesting difference in consumption between writing zeros and wiping translator .. This also sort of led me to conclusion the MPtool is wiping translator probably because consumption NAND erase > consumption writing zeros. Zero filling: https://youtube.com/shorts/-NOu95TrLEM?fe...

I had this idea we might be able to detect somehow without chip-off to see reading back zeros or FF pattern may be due to a pattern written or wiped translator. Hypothesis being: I expect wiped translator to result in faster read-speed than reading back a pattern that was written and possibly power ...

So amazing he does not see that not telling the World about his software is not the issue, but pretending to be an end user is ..

I've been trying to get Steve to come clean on what "Dynastat" actually does in modern drives, ie any drive produced since SR v6.0. However, he has been avoiding the question. AFAICT, SR v6.0 (copyright 2004) predates the ATA 48-bit SCT READ LONG command, which was introduced some time af...
