HDDScan - Free utility for hard drive diagnostics with RAID, USB Flash and SSD support.
HDDScan is a freeware utility for hard drive diagnostics with RAID arrays, Flash USB and SSD drives support. The program can test storage device for errors (bad sectors and bad blocks), show S.M.A.R.T. attributes and change some HDD parameters such as AAM, APM, etc.
HDDScan can be useful for performing the regular "health test" for your drive and predicting its degradation, so you will be able to prevent data loss and backup your files before you will have to contact a data recovery service.
Software can be used as a hard disk temperature monitor and reading/writing benchmark – performance graph is displayed for every test.
Supported storage devices:
- IDE (ATA) and SATA HDD
- SCSI (SAS) HDD
- External USB drives and all major USB boxes

Storage device tests:
- Verification in linear mode – checks if your drive needs data rescue, has recoverable errors or in its perfect shape
- Reading in linear mode – simpler, but faster disk check
- Erasing in linear mode
