This will depend on the relative placement of these PCs

I assume hard drives are not considered “physical” for some reason?

What’s the model of the flash drive?

You’re concerned about 20GBs a day, really?

I am sure that it’s not because of another program or Windows updates.

there is literally no other way

TRIM doesn’t write to the drive. It’s a completely different operation.

I’d stop and ask on r/datarecovery, consider professional recovery. Might be a mechanical issue.

Same answer as the last time you posted https://www.reddit.com/r/datarecovery/comments/186yhtt/how_do_i_repair_this_corrupted_chunk_of_data/

Cloning, but only with proper software. ddrescue or HDDSuperClone. Can’t be done under Windows due to Windows limitations.

by “bad block” you mean a read error? what does smart say?

197 pending sectors, 5 reallocated

yes, this drive is cooked

Newegg never changes…

This should be only like 25GB (at 256kbps). Have multiple HDDs/SSDs with copies. Backup to cloud. Don’t bother with optical media unless you have a BluRay writer already.

does it spin up? isn’t showing up where?
