[Bug-ddrescue] 10KB/sec data recovery rates - possible cause?

[Paul L Daniels]

This isn't really a bug in ddrescue at all, but rather I'm curious to
hear if anyone else has encountered this;

        I have a client 1TB WD 2.5" drive from a portable enclosure
        which failed on their system.  On start up there's no clanking
        or banging ( good sign! ) but it's *incredibly* slow to read,
        we're talking a peak of ~15KB/sec and an average of 10KB/sec.

        Anyone encountered this before, know what sort of failure it
        pertains to in the drive?

        It's going to be a looooooong recovery process.


Thanks,
Paul.
