If you have never heard of Spinrite from Steve Gibson’s grc.com (presented of Security Now! podcast) then you may well want to add it to your toolkit. Version 6.0 is great and 6.1 is about to launch.
Spinrite is a magnetic storage (hard disk, SSD and USB drive, etc) recovery, repair and maintenance utility. It costs just $89 and you can read more, and see what it does, at https://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm.
