Re: Running Tests Simultaneously

One more quick question: As I'm running the Write+Read test, the Write test has finished and it's now running the Read test. I don't see the data for the Write test anymore. Is there a way to retrieve the Write test results once the test is completer or does HD Setinel overwrite all results with the...

Re: Running Tests Simultaneously

Unfortunately, I have no idea how long the HDs were stuck in 50C+ temperatures. It could have been short or very long. During the test, while the Sentinel was still connected, the temperature reported was a very suspicious flat line at exactly 36C, so I'm assuming that temperature was wrong. Definit...

Re: Extended Self Test vs Surface Scan

Hmm, I thought for a new disk both Extended test AND Surface Read test were recommended. So are you saying that the Surface Read test already covers everything that the Extended test covers and more? I would like to know since I'm currently running a 31hr Extended test on 2 new 18TB drives, after wh...

Running Tests Simultaneously

I have just bought 2 new external 18TB HDs and am running all 4 recommended tests for a new drive before I put them in my NAS. A few questions: 1. While I'm running an Extended test on both drives, is it possible to simultaneously run a Surface Read test in parallel? HD Sentinel seems to allow it in...
