Commercially speaking. Should I admit that NEW HDDs bought from an
authorized
dealer, have some bad clusters?
I was asking warranties for a 2.1 gb new one with Scandisk reporting two bad
clusters( two big red Bs"), and a philosopical discussion of how many bad
sectors a new hdd can have started.
If I'm dealing with serius people, shouldnt I expect that no bad cluster
appears for the whole warranty time?
In my experience every time that a hdd starts reporting bad cluster, the
problem increases with time.
