If the drive has bad sectors, or you use level 4, it will take much longer. A full scan on level 2 of a 1 TB drive with no bad sectors took 35 hours and 46 minutes. SpinRite 6.0 is glacially slow on today’s large hard drives. There are some limitations to SpinRite and to running it on the Mac. I don’t want you to go through this process with false expectations. Here is my attempt to write a coherent single set of instructions for SpinRite on the Mac. I had to hunt around multiple web sites to find bits and pieces of the instructions. The other instructions I found on the web for SpinRite on the Mac were variously outdated, contained bad links or were overly complicated. There is really nothing comparable to it for the Macintosh, especially in its ability to recover data from corrupted hard drives. SpinRite is a hard drive recovery utility intended to run stand-alone on Windows machines. If you are reading this, you probably know why you want to run SpinRite.
