   Ok so the data is basically saved at least the important parts, I have spent something like way too much on yet another bunch of disks since I will never trust Seagate again. The volume is currently degraded but accessible. Disk checks will be running until tomorrow morning I guess. There are...a lot of blocks on a 3TB HDD apparently, like A LOT

     @frida "Never trust a Seagate" was said in the 90s already. I thought things had improved.

     @clacke When I did data restoration work in the 00:s the Seagate's would get a lot of bad sectors but were generally easy to restore from. The WD and Samsung drives were hell and would break in much more difficult ways - the WD:s were notorious for getting the head stuck to the disk. I'm not great at taking the end user perspective I guess D:
