| 13 hours ago | comment | added | Hannu | A 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. | |
