Hard Disk test for 1 drive

Post by skylinekiller »

Is there a way to run a Hard Disk Test for only one of my drives? Each time run a test, it does all my drives and the report is too long.

Generally all tests are available from the Disk menu.

Do you prefer to run Disk menu -> Short self test / Extended self test?
Some disk types (for example NVMe SSDs, pendrives) do not support these, so it can't be selected (just for other disks).

You can use Disk menu -> Surface test functions instead.

If you use Report menu -> Send test report to developer option (and mention which disk / test is preferred) I can help and assist specifically.

If you prefer to have report about ONE (or more selected, but not all) disks, please use Report menu -> Save Authentic Disk Report option.
This designed exactly to allow saving report for specific drive(s) with its details.
You may customize the contents (which sections / parts should be included in the report) at Configuration -> Message Settings -> Detailed report components.

This authentic disk report function designed to selling/buying used hard disks.
This way the seller can create authentic report, send to the buyer. He can verify that it is correct (not modified/altered) and this warrants the condition of the disk drive for both the buyer and the seller.
