badblocks

[mick crane <mick.crane@gmail.com>]

hello,
I got a cheap SATA to USB external adaptor and used it to look at a 
500Gb drive from redundant PC that I'd already got what I wanted from.
Bullseye Xfce tried to auto mount it but baulked over one directory.
I mounted partition OK in terminal emulator.
Ran badblocks on partition which reported
"488251288 bad blocks found"
which seems excessive.
Might I think that there is something amiss with the USB/SATA adapter 
thing ?
