I had understood spinrite was for recovering/fixing/testing drives that 
had failures on them, like lost formatting or flakey electronics. I 
wouldn't think if the drive was working then you could get much out of 
it other than what you last wrote (without opening it up). I mean, 
pretty much, isn't that how a drive is *supposed* to work? Give you back 
reliably what you most recently wrote to a sector?
