4. to test bad blocks on hard disk on Linux, sudo pv -nb /dev/sda > null or replace /dev/sda with the device identifier of your hard disk.

The errors will print in dmesg (comfortable viewing with command dmesg -TL=always|less -R).

pv may need to be installed as a separate package usually called pv.

It doesn't have a menu entry Menu->System->Hard Disks->"Check bad sectors on your hard disk".

It doesn't even have a menu entry Menu->System->Hard Disks->"Display instructions how to check bad sectors on your hard disk from command line", which I assume would be much easier to implement than the actual menu function, and almost as useful for me.

cleaning up a cupboard, I found this. I wonder if it's still good.

#Seagate
#ST1
#CompatFlash
#Harddisk

I wonder, what the highest density #harddisk or any other storage media that one can reasonable #diy is these days?

(Not counting data compression, just the raw uncompressed amount of data you could store on any storage media you built yourself).

Cassette tapes would probably be the easiest as that has already been used once in the past. But there for sure must be other/better/different options with todays "diy-level tools and capabilities", right?
