I was a big fan of Steve Gibson & his work in the late 20th century,
but a LOT of it has been obsoleted by modern intelligent disk drives,
which do their own sector-remapping etc.

Although Spinrite 6 supports SATA, it's well over a decade old now.
Spinrite 6.1 has been in development for 11+ years. Its functions in
drive remapping, re-interleaving etc. are pretty much all obsolete now
and Gibson himself says it's pointless on SSDs.

So, honestly, if I were you, I wouldn't bother.
