That should read "hdparm -t", not "-T", right?
erk, sorry, yes.
And the slowness is most likely due to the error recovery (retries)
in the drive and/or driver, which cause the overall throughput to
plummet for the measurement interval.
ah. There are no reported errors though. So presumably drive retries
that end up being successful.
If that is so then this suggests the drive has a far more serious
problem than just a single bad block, right?
Cheers
