So what did I do wrong?
ventrical, in your example above (/dev/sdX) the "X" in sdX needs to be changed to reflect you ssd drive (sda, sdb, sdc...ect). also the read-sector should be the number directly under "begin LBA" but WITHOUT the brackets. so your hdparm --read-sector line should be as follows (assuming your drive is sda):
Code:
sudo hdparm --read-sector 9516032 /dev/sda
hope that helps
