Wasn't sure if I should put this in Software or here, so Don's please move it where appropriate

I am on the lookout for some Diag's software that will give a HDD a good going over, does anyone know of such software?

Thanks

HDTach would tell you how quick your drive is roughly, Speedfan has SMART analysis and offers the chance to find out your drives fitness. The best thing for in depth analysis though is usually the manufacturers tools, Maxtor use MaxBlast for instance and I think most manufacturers have something similar.

Brilliant, thanks mate, the MaxBlast software showed an error which it said it has now fixed
