My issue is that my 14tb target drive seems to have some issues… I did a scan and at certain points the drive freezes for a few seconds then continues. I ran this thing called hdd llf which I think isn’t true llf but rather just writes 0s over the drive.it took around 24 hours so I don’t wish to repeat that, but it went smoothly without the freezing so I think it marked the bad errors and stored the info somewhere.

I know I shouldn’t use a suspected faulty drive but I just want to do this now before a new drive arrives as it will take some time.

My question now is, if I use macrium reflect to clone a drive onro this one and use intelligent sector copy, does macriim reflect reformat the drive again? Will the stored info on the bad areas, made by HDD llf, be lost?
