If 2 we get either nothing (as drive response is binary: either (corrected) data or error + no data). Actually, there is at least one well known exception involving "moLD" or "241A" sectors in Seagate Rosewood drives. https://groups.google.com/g/datarecoverycertification/c/dgA7k...

Hahaha, he's following you and Franc and no one else!

I find it interesting and alarming that drives write/return bogus data. In essence USBC issue is in this category as well, https://www.disktuna.com/sudden-appeara ... and-files/.

How dare you help others @fzabkar? I bet that on hddguru, most of the members have used your free information for gain, whether or not they admit it. I am willing to bet money on that too.

I can't help but feel that all the effort is pointless. The author refuses to say what "Dynastat" is actually doing, but AFAICT it is based on false premises and obsolete ATA commands. Moreover, many drives that appear to still support "long reads" will often produce indetermina...

Does anyone know where the development of SpinRite is heading? Does anyone have the v6.1 beta versions? Is there a changelog? I have been following it.

Oh nice, thanks. I had been wondering where one would best ask such a question.

No, CR3 = MP4 container. Last few bytes don't matter, CR3 is picky when it comes to atom sizes. This doesn't add or remove arbitrary bytes, it makes file size match atom sizes:
