I have a Toshiba MK1234GSX ( http://sdd.toshiba.com/main.aspx?Pat...Specifications ) HDD on my HP laptop with Vista Home Premium 32 . It would appear that when accessing certain areas of the disk the response is very slow .
1. Is this an indication that there may be trouble up ahead ?
2. Is there some application available that can access the disk , checking response times , that can automatically copy data from a poor to a good area , and even include the poor areas in the "bad block" list ? If not , shouldn't this be an easy app to write up , for someone with disk know-how ?
