HDDScan v 3.3 - the program for checking the hard drive

You can often hear that the heart of the computer is the processor. With this it is difficult not to agree. The processor will be out of order, and the life of the PC will stop.

The hard drive is also a very important part of the full operation of the technology. By analogy with the heart-processor, it can be called a head. Its functioning is influenced by factors from outside, and the state of the board, mechanical elements. To avoid data loss, you need to check hard drives from time to time.

You can name a lot of different developments, but the most optimal is the program to test the HDD HDDScan v 3.3. It does not require installation, it can please the interface in Russian and is compatible with the latest software. In addition, it has several test modes: test for speed, for bad sectors, for temperature monitoring mode.
The program for checking the hard disk starts very easily. At the start, a list appears listing the hard disks from which you are asked to select the test drive. Checks start with pressing the "Smart" button.

It is mainly recommended to pay attention to the color of the circles next to the parameters of the disc. They should appear in the upper left corner. If the first three of them are green, then everything is in order, the disk's performance is satisfactory. And if they are yellow or, worse, red, then this parameter is on the verge of functioning, there is a very high probability of a disk failure and loss of data stored on it.

To see what caused an emergency, you need to click "Identity Info", view all the data about the disk and compare them with the parameters from the manufacturer.

Now you can check the disk, this will help the program to check the hard drive for broken sectors. Using it, select the "Testing" menu and turn on the "Random reading or checking" mode. Important: it must be remembered that when testing in the "Erase" mode, all data will be destroyed, so you need to select the modes very carefully.

The program for checking hard disk for errors has a function such as Add Test. Running it, the corresponding line appears in the test manager. To find out the results of the test, just click on it with the mouse twice. All information about the disk will be presented in the form of tables and graphs.

Large dips on the charts or colored squares warn of the damaged sectors, which have an understated access speed. When the threshold of time deceleration is reached, they are replaced by reserve ones, but the reserve limit is also not at all infinite, and then the data recorded on the disk is lost.

A big plus is that the program to check the hard drive gives a lot of information about its status. Especially should be alerted, if during the test as a result you are shown a map, very often dotted with colored squares. This signals that you need to take urgent measures and copy important data, otherwise you will need a program to restore the disks.

In addition, the hard disk test program monitors the temperature. You can also conduct an offline test, the results of which will appear in your window.

And finally, some more little tips that will help you in the process of checking disks.

Firstly, when starting the test and running the program, make backup copies of all the data in case of emergency. Secondly, be sure to turn off the Internet, antivirus, in general all the programs running on your PC.
Thirdly, if the device does not show any errors in the disc, and your computer still refuses to work in normal mode, then it's not in the disk, but, quite possibly, in the RAM. There is another option: the power of your power supply is not enough to ensure the full operation of all connected devices. It is recommended to check also the drivers.
