Can You Risk Your Valuable Data Lost? No? Use this free diagnostic tool

Free HDD Diagnostic

Free HDD Diagnostic Tool Hindi If you are not aware of the condition of your hard drive, you may not be able to save your valuable data before it's too late. Not all hard drive crashes are sudden, and before the hard disk fails completely, you get time for data backup.

So you should have an easy tool that shows all the information about your hard disk, which is easy for you to understand.

My previous post, "4 tools which can predict the failure of the hard drive and can stop it," had some illumination on some of the best free hard drive diagnostic tools.

Discovery (beta) is a free HDD diagnostic tool that detects the health status of physical drives and logical volumes, S.M.A.R.T data, and other information. First of all, it gathers every possible information from each drive and you can easily see information related to special hard drives (logical volumes). All information is streamlined in different ways and organize.

S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology; often written as SMART) This is a computer hard disk drive (HDD) and solid state drive (SSD) monitoring system. This drive detects various indicators of reliability and makes reports on them, which are intended to predict hardware failures.

In Discovery, you can type the volume (simple, spanned, mirrored / RAID, etc.), type of read type or file type, read-only or read-write, file system type, compressed, not small size, support features (such as encryption, case-sensitive search , Whether remote storage is enabled or not) and more. For physical drive, other information can also be found here. Therefore, this is really a good utility for the hard drive test.

You can not save or export this report in this tool, which you might not like, but this tool is definitely good because it presents very important information for the hard disk.

Decision:

I have to say that through this tool, a lot of important information is collected for hard disks and logical volumes. Besides, the use of this tool is very easy.
