SpinRite will then read and re-read that spot about 20 times, It takes the average of those 20 reads and reallocates that averaged data to a known good spare sector.
What is supposed to make SpinRite better than other tools is that it listens to the SMART data, and if a particular area of the drive is using Error correcting code a whole bunch then it's presumed bad. I can't wait for an update, in the mean time I've got a dedicated Dell P4 for SpinRite usage. I have far better luck on systems with a genuine PS/2 keyboard in to a PS/2 port (not a USB to PS/2 adapter). I can press the same key 7 times and maybe it works once, maybe it works thrice, roll the dice and find out. The most common problem I have with SpinRite is bad USB keyboard support. Compatibility will even include support booting it off of Macs and other UEFI only systems. If and when he does a compatibility and performance update it will be free for current owners.
Steve Gibson is supposed to be updating it, but keeps getting distracted with side projects (Vitamin D, Healthy Sleep, Ketosis, SQRL Logins, DNS Benchmark, Never10, etc.). SpinRite is an ancient program that only runs correctly on old (think Pentium 4) systems with 2TB or smaller drives. For the record, SpinRite worked just fine on my flash drive following these instructions.
