What is the best utility to check and correct external drives?
I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.
I need something more than the default gnome-disk-utility.

Although it doesn't help with permission errors, I have successfully used ddrescue for data recovery.
Essentially you create an ISO image of the physical drive as soon as you suspect serious corruption or imminent hardware failure. Then operate on the ISO image to recover the data.
If this isn't what you meant, please elaborate.
Cheers.
