Most computer users know that the hard disk is one of the slowest components of a computer. But besides the low speed, hard disks have also other problems. Because they have a lot of moving parts, they are likely to break down earlier than other components, putting your precious personal information in danger. Moreover, bad sectors are another thing to affect hard disks. These are parts of the hard disk that cannot be used any more and any information stored there becomes unusable. That's why it would be a good idea to monitor the hard disk and to check it regularly for errors. Because no one knows when disaster strikes. A program that can help you with that is HD Tune Pro. It's a complete software that has all a user needs for monitoring and testing a hard disk, no matter its type and size.

The program is very easy to install and it supports most versions of Microsoft Windows and virtually any type of hard disk.

Despite the fact that HD Tune Pro includes a lot of features, they are well organized and easy to get to. Even beginners can use the program's interface, because of this. HD Tune Pro can test the speed of the hard disk in a real world situation, by actual copying information on it. The program can also monitor the temperature and the overall health of a hard disk by using his SMART feature. Most modern hard drives have this feature, which can predict whether they will fail or not in the near future.

Bad sectors can be easily spotted using HD Tune Pro. The program allows taking a screenshot of every hard disk test, for example in case the user needs to send it to a technician. The maximum number of hard disks supported by HD Tune Pro is unlimited.

Pros

It includes various hard disk tests that quickly and easily spot out any problem. The program also allows taking screenshots of every test.

Cons

It cannot save a graphical report of all the hard disk tests, it can only copy text information into clipboard. HD Tune Pro is a very useful program for benchmarking and monitoring any type of hard disk.
