Could somebody help me interpret this data? The drive used to be in a Macbook which failed to boot one day. After extensively repairing the disk, the system started functioning again more or less normally, albeit with intermittent slow-downs and I/O errors that were reported by OS X's console.
I've since replaced the disk, but would like to continue using it in another Macbook. So, I've erased the hard drive by writing zeros all over it. My thinking was that this would help the drive identify bad sectors, so that they could be marked
I must say, it appears to run fine now.
The drive's been used for two years, but it came refurbished directly from Hitachi after they RMA'd my previous 7k200 whose head crashed after only one year...
Any help is appreciated!
