URL : https://github.com/baruch/diskscan
License : ASL 2.0 and BSD and (BSD or CC0) and GPLv3+
Description : DiskScan is a Unix/Linux tool to scan a block device and check if there are
: unreadable sectors, in addition it uses read latency times as an assessment for
: a near failure as sectors that are problematic to read usually entail many
: retries. This can be used to assess the state of the disk and maybe decide on a
: replacement in advance to its imminent failure. The disk self test may or may
: not pick up on such clues depending on the disk vendor decision making logic.
