I'm backing up a failing 500GB Seagate HDD using ddrescue and in the beginning of the drive the read speed is fast. My disk image is now at 470GB and the read speed has dropped to 8 KB/s...
What could be happening physically on the drive that's causing read speeds to fall as the head moves closer and closer to the outside sectors?
