not sure what you mean, but as long drive works, you can plot it.

I have this spare HDD with this status. They say with this HDD, files are easily corrupted. Are plots considered as files?

@jervis Just try it. Reading files and writing files are two separate mechanics in a HDD. Maybe you can use this drive. Maybe not.

@jervis I don't know if you have tried it since, but I had a 0% drive lying around, and I could not plot it :( Hope you had better luck with it.

I have tried this a couple of times. The final decision is yours...
So, it depends on what is the damage causing the 0% health.
I have a 2TB with 0% health and spin - head problem. The files were ok but it took about an hour to read each one of them.... So they were useless....
Another disk (external this time) is working with 9% health mining for about one and a half year continuesly. The only problem was bad sectores.
A thir disk with 2% health without spin- - head problems, only with bad sectores, cannot read certain aeras, so I fill it up about 70% and the other space I left it for re-allocation....
My advice is to try if your HDD doesn't have head problems.... Small files, (5-10 GB each one) and 30-35% free.
