Hi guy) A few times I saw people who regularly home-checked their HDDs via MHDD/Victoria/HDAT2 and others "just to make sure". Sure, everything is working fine, but some 'wise people in the Internet' strongly recommended to do it once in a couple of months, you know... Ok, let it be, they bought it, yet the point is HOW they advised doing it: - Run the software and only then plug-in the HDD -- why? - First of all, disable AAM -- why? - You need four (4) separate checks on the top-bottom-left-right HDD side -- why not front-back then? - Erase slow sectors prior Remapping -- for the working drive with OS/data? And many similar stuff for better enjoyment or something! So, what other 'wise people' think about such and if there's a guide how-NOT-to kill your HDD? TY |

Once again, another Internet-expert stated that only PIO backward (reversed) checking counts. After a question why not 'butterfly', he proudly replied: "Because it can destroy the HDD!" Did you know? |
