    Question disk cloning [S.M.A.R.T]

    Hello,
    My external HDD may be faulty, I put S.M.A.R.T (did by linux mint and through smartctl) .
    While I connect my hard , the system freezes and windows can't open any of my 4 partitions and I received a format error before using and some I/O error )
    NOTE: While I touch my HDD I feel spinning and no abnormal or suspicious sound. LED blinking.
    ------------------------------------------------
    While searching through forums, I have come across many debates and sometimes controversial comments regarding the use of either HDD Super Clone: https://www.hddsuperclone.com/
    (or its fork Open Super Clone:https://sourceforge.net/projects/opensu ... o/download )
    or
    GNU ddrescue : https://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/
    I have compiled several key points for both tools and will present them here. First, I will share the results of the S.M.A.R.T. analysis(did with Linux Mint). Based on these results, which tool is more suitable and appropriate for my situation? Which one is more effective for cloning my external hard disk?
    -------------------------------------------------------
    I did lsblk -l and faulty external HDD was sdc
