Never used HDDSuperTool, I feel a bit uncomfortable with linux command line tools, although I used ddrescue a couple of times from Parted Magic.

fast hint for me?

Get WDR or WDMARVEL (tools written to work with WD drives), backup the drive's firmware, clear Relo list, check defect list (G-list) try adding entries to P-list, after that, regenerate translator with Plist and do a full erase, You can find some tools on Spildit's forum or hunt for them on the internet. Before all these, clean HSA contacts of the PCB with a soft eraser and clean with alcohol.

I looked at your previous posts and it indicates that you only use freeware tools. So did you use HDDSuperTool on this drive? Clearing the RELO list would be the module 32 patch in that case...

That's correct, I use free tools, like WDR and WDMARVEL demo.
