useless diagnostics from manufacturers
I wanted to test an old server that actually wasn't used much.
It has some WD black 2 TB disks in it. I put in a WD Data Lifeguard CD, and it complains that it can't find the license file. Then tried Seagate Seatools - it set wrong video mode, so just got scrambled pixels. Next Hitachi diagnostic, that just gave a blank screen. When did any of these companies last update this ****? I had gone into BIOS and changed SATA mode to IDE legacy in the hope that was likely to suceed. I can't find Toshiba's equivalant disk diagnostic to download any more. |

You could try the HDSentinel trial.

I think those tools are mainly designed to work with drives from those specific manufacturers. Not that it excuses the poor behaviour shown in your tests. I mostly used Seatools, as it seemed to handle other brands okay. Anyway, I ended up using MHDD - that it least booted up and ran a scan. Only problem with MHDD is that it doesn't do 'slave' drives, so you have to swap cables half the time. |
