Here I’ll show you how to test your computer’s hard drive with HD Tune

This is the software interface

Main Functions of HD Tune Pro:

Benchmark: tests the data transfer speed (Transfer Rate) at 3 levels: Minimum, Average, Maximum. Test time (Access Time), amount transferred (Burst Time) and CPU resources used (CPU Usage). To run the test, click the Start button.

For an accurate test, boot into Win PE

Info: This section shows information about the hard drive

My drive is a 320GB HHD at 7200 RPM. If it is an SSD, the Rotation Speed will be 0 or not shown

Health:

Simply put, this section checks whether the hard drive has errors (BAD). If everything shows green Ok, the drive is normal; if it shows yellow, it is acceptable; and if it shows red, look up that code to see what is wrong and find a way to fix it

Mine is all Ok

Error Scan:

This section checks the hard drive for errors. You can see the errors on a chart using HD Tune’s 3 colors:

– Gray: The part of the hard drive the program has not checked yet.

– Green: The part of the hard drive the program has checked, indicating that this part is still very good.

– Red: The part of the hard drive the program has checked, indicating that this part has errors.

Note: Each colored box corresponds to 15Mb of the hard drive. If there are only a few red boxes, you can use temporary repair software such as Norton Disk; if there are too many red boxes, you should buy a new hard drive and quickly back up your data to be safe.
