I had performance problems on my old WHS1 and according to a scan one or several disks were failing. So I bought new HDDs, installed WHS2011 and hooked up the old disks one by one using a SATA USB bay to recover data and surface scan them.
According to Scanner 2 out of the 4 old disks have one bad block each. I wonder if Scanner marks these blocks as bad so the OS won't try to write data to these blocks or do I have to run Chkdsk to do that? I understand the risk to continue using the disks if more blocks go bad but it can be good to have spare disks for non critical data.
