Error Handling; Clone Method Settings - Logicube SuperSonix-NG User Manual

HPA – Host Protected Area can limit the size of a hard drive, but it can also
change many other settings such as speed and S.M.A.R.T. status.
DCO – Device Configuration Overlay limits the size of a drive only. For example,
a 160GB drive can be made to look like a 100GB drive to a computer.

4.3.3 Error Handling

When bad sectors are encountered on the Master drive, SuperSonix-NG can
either skip the bad sectors or abort the imaging operation. This allows flexibility
on what to do when bad sectors are found on the Master drive.
SuperSonix-NG also has a setting for error granularity. There are 3 options:

1 sector (512 Bytes)

4096 Bytes (8 sectors)

64 KIB (128 sectors)
When a bad sector on the Master drive is found, by default, it will skip that
sector. Changing the granularity allows more sectors to be skipped.
A cluster size represents the smallest amount of disk space that can be used to
hold a file. The most common cluster size for an NTFS volume, for example, is
4KB (4096 Bytes). This means that the smallest amount of space that will be
used for a file is 4096 Bytes.
As an example, if 4096 Bytes is chosen, and one of the 8 sectors in that cluster
size contains a bad sector, the SuperSonix-NG will skip the entire cluster (or
4096 bytes or 8 sectors).

When bad sectors are encountered, and error handling is set to
Skip, SuperSonix-NG will write a zero on the corresponding sector
or position in the Target drive or file.
