Don't forget to add 'seek=502093169', otherwise this would copy sector

Yes, this may help.

In the past, I've seen a similar behavior with some Samsung F1 disk: 
There were no actual read errors, but attribute 197 raw value reports 40 
sectors. Zero-filling the whole disk helped to clear the attribute.
