I've got a 500G external drive that is used for Time Machine that crapped out and Alsoft Disk Warrior has been working on it for THREE DAYS. I'd normally have given up long ago, but what I've read indicates that this is not necessarily an indication of failure. From what I've read, 100G drives running for days is not unheard of, and this is 500.
What I DIDN'T read was the end result of a lot of these instances where DW ran for days.
I'm using the machine it's now running on, since it's only running on the TM volume, and the "Speed reduced by disk malfunction" count stopped incrementing at 389 on the first day, where it is now.
Any success stories to make me decide to let it keep running?
