So I turned to Yodot (the drive repair version at USD 80) which, as the first, tries to pull the data off the drive before attempting a repair. This seems to run - at about 330 MB per hour.

It seems to run steady.

Not surprising. Have you estimated how much time is left?

Hi Jim

Actually I had to buy a new 2 TB drive just for this operation.
