I picked up a VERY inexpensive seagate 500gb sata drive - refurbished, but refuse to use the thing until it's passes a surface scan.
After about 40min, it's checked about 25mil of the .97 BILLION blocks.
I have this running on a 733mhz G4. Looks like it'll take days, not hours. It's ok, I'm patient...
yes... I KNOW some of you would never touch a refurb drive (and yet have no problem with refurb computers - that may have refurb drives in them...)
