- I doubt that. It would be extremely unusual for the defect list to have
- no entries. Especially for removable media. All drives have extra
- sectors that are used specifically for remapping bad sectors so you
- probably aren't losing much or any capacity.

-
- Well, the 2 platters do spin at 5400RPM. Moving a spinning drive is not a
- good idea.
