Could you build this?
Partial A basic CLI or GUI wrapper can be vibe-coded, but low-level hard drive diagnostics and dealing with damaged physical sectors requires direct OS storage APIs and block-level error handling.
What it would actually take: Building a true storage diagnostic utility requires C, C++, or Rust utilizing low-level OS IOCTLs, S.M.A.R.T. query interfaces, and SCSI/ATA command pass-throughs. The hard part is gracefully handling hardware I/O timeouts, retrying bad sectors without crashing system drivers, and correctly interpreting manufacturer-specific raw drive telemetry. This requires systems programming and storage hardware expertise.
