Just a short note to thank you for your excellent Disk Tester.

I had two OWC Mercury Electra 3G 1Tb drives go bad on me in the last two months. DiskTester found the problem in no time.

MPG: DiskTester is part of diglloydTools and offers both performance and reliability testing. The test-reliability command is specifically designed to ferret out drive issues, but the other commands are on the lookout for problems while testing as well.

Get diglloydTools and consider subscribing to my photographic publications also.
