3A device that has begun to experience bad block will tend to gain / create / experience more of them, how quick is hard to tell; that is most likely very much dependent of the internal state of media and technicalities. I'd say that it will not allow for a "stable" usable state for very long. Been there, trying to use old worn out equipment. You might wish to try though; enable the Erase feature - if that runs through without faults; good luck.Hannu– Hannu2026-01-31 18:03:26 +00:00Commented 13 hours ago

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. command-line), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
