+Sformat is the best SCSI disk tool, I came across in the last 20 years.
+It is able to repair and format nearly any disk, as long as its heads
+are still in working condition and a few percent of its blocks are writable.
+Once you have learned to use it, you will never think of using something else.
+Formating a disk with sformat does not only send a scsi-format command to the disk,
+but also make a detailed surface analysis after formating. The defect lists are
+updated, and you come out with a reliable disk, again. Thanks Joerg.
+
+On the other side, like with any other powerful tool, you have to invest some time in learning.
+Well invested time.
