The health of all of your computer’s components is very important. If a piece of your hardware is experiencing a problem, you could be faced with a loss of performance or stability problems. Therefore, it’s your responsibility to regularly check to see if everything is running in tiptop shape. It’s much better to be aware of a problem before it causes any damage. One important piece of hardware that is in need of regular checkups is your hard drive. A free program called HD Tune will allow you to run tests on your drives.

The program can measure the performance of your hard drive, and check the health of it as well. An error scan will notify you of any defects, and detailed information is provided on the specifics of the drive. HD Tune is a very easy program to use, which makes it helpful for beginners who would like to run diagnostic tests on their drives. [584K] [Win2k/XP] [FREE] [DOWNLOAD] [Brandon Watts]
