Ok. Would you recommend stopping the current session of ddrescue and starting again with a more frozen drive?

GNU ddrescue 1.17
Press Ctrl-C to interrupt
rescued:   581315 MB,  errsize:    156 GB,  current rate:        0 B/s
   ipos:   738085 MB,   errors:     585,    average rate:    6571 kB/s
   opos:   738085 MB,    time since last successful read:      19 s
Copying non-tried blocks...

The failing drive is 1 TB and has about 600 GB of data.

I put mine in an air tight bag in the freezer for a few hours, than took it out, mounted it quick, and was then able to recover most of my data.  This has worked on several drives.

Any suggestions on how to cool the usb drive with the errors. I have it flat on a cold large faux granite desk surface which is very cold to the touch. But the drive is still very warm.

Thanks!

There is a special version of dd that will retry on bad sectors and try to formulate a best guess for the bad sector.  I've used it with some success - took about 2 weeks to recover a 300GB drive.  I also had to keep it refrigerated.

There is an application called test disk that might be handy for data recovery. But this looks like your drive is in bad shape.

I have a 2 TB WD USB drive that I formated with NTFS. I have a rather extensive movie/TV library on it for my plex media server, and I am getting read errors. I hope I haven't lost all of that data! It has been attached to one of my Netgear wireless access points, hence the need for NTFS.

fdisk -l gives for the drive
/dev/sdc1            2048  3906963455  1953480704    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

I tried running smartctl on the device, (which is now plugged into a usb 3.0 port on my laptop) and got this error after a few tests

Any thoughts on how I can fix this drive, or do I need to get a new one? What is the best way to copy the contents of the drive with these errors to a new drive?

Thanks!
