Hard Disk Monitoring

Hello, In order to troubleshoot an issue I'm having with a controller I have temporarily moved my SSD to a secondary controller (Marvell) from the main Intel controller. HD Sentinel says that TRIM is supported but not enabled. I have followed some instructions on the Internet and looks like my TRIM ...

Many thanks for your support. I'll keep in mind that for next time!
Thanks

Thanks again. It seems that to understand properly SMART attributes you definitely need to have some knowledge about the drive you are going to analise.

We ship drives around and if a drive fails we have to ship another one using very expensive shippers to have it to our customer on time. I have been test...

Hello everybody I'm using a registered version of HD Sentinel to inspect some of our HDs trying to find out whether they're still reliable or not. I am trying to understand how "bad" is a drive with a single - or just a few - bad sectors on it. In my limited knowledge of the matter I know ...
