A program that checks your Hard Drives for Reliablitiy

[bdayton]

Here's your first confirmation post on this product.

I procrastinated for several weeks but about two weeks ago, on a whim, I dicided to load it and see what it said about my hard drives.....

My main 80g HD showed 10% life and 10% performance. Hmmm... That might explain the s.l.o.w.s.
A few days later, it showed 8% life and 8% performance.

ACK!! If this thing was right, then it's a wake-up call!

I immediatly ran a Windows 2000 backup and then tried to ghost the drive. It wouldn't ghost because of a bad sector. :( Before I could try again, the Drive completly crashed!

I didn't have another 80G drive to replace it with and I can't afford to buy one right now but, I did have an old 4G drive from really old computer. I installed windows 2000 and other software on the 4g "C" drive and I am now using my backup external drive for my KMA's.

My last backup was a month old so, I still wouldn't have lost it all but, thanks to this product, I was able to get better prepared.
