Thread: Harddrive Problems: Sense Key : Medium Error [current]

hi everyone,

i've got problem external harddrive. it's connected via usb old laptop, running ubuntu. disk has 1tb of space consists out of 2 partitions:

• 900gb ext4 data partition
• 100gb raid 1 partition

drive isn't old, couple of weeks ago gone. everytime tried access got i/o error dmesg. don't remember said, couldn't mount it, couldn't fdisk read it. unplugged power , plugged in, , worked fine again. didn't trust data partition, ran fsck.ext4 -c , appeared fine.

couple of days ago i/o errors returned. did hard reset again, time took couple of hours until drive gone. disappeared when tried write it, way. time ran sudo fsck.ext4 -c -c correct broken sectors or whatever, running more 152 hours , 2.84% completed. , dmesg flooded information this:

code:

is there way save drive? don't know do, i'd buy new drive , try save data possible, i'm little short on money atm , i'd prefer safe disk. information on there isn't important me...

recomendations i'd grateful!
