Hello, since 17.0.1 pc cant seem to get to sync bitcoin core as the program confirms for a while then says cannot read from database, then closes. Its on a western digital 1Tb drive(less than 3 years old) but I read somewhere they now recommend an SSD to run bitcoin : is this the case?
I ran chkdsk /f /r, which replaced bad clusters across several folders but then pc crashed after a day...need I restart/finish this process and will it even sync when/if it does : are spinning disks now obsolete for bitcoin on a 15mbit connection, considering format and rescan may alternatively be the solution.
Having many blockchains on my drive, even format and resync is a formidable task, considering other blockchains on this drive work fine, may format be the solution or is the above the overriding factor since the wallet got rewritten incorrectly at version 16...
Thanks
