This test treats PC’s each HDD/SSD/eMMC as a physical unit, and reads the sectors on the disk to check if the device works
correctly. The test never writes any data on the HDD/SSD/eMMC.
The Test checks up to the first 16 built-in ATA/SATA/SCSI/iSCSI/NVMe/MMC/SD bus type’s HDD/SSD/eMMC.
The test reads a data chunk at a time, which consists of consecutive sectors the size of which equals to 64K bytes. Hereafter, the
data chunk is called “64KB-Sectors”.
Depending on the test mode (Detail or Simple), the test defines “Division number” as follows:
■
In case of Simple mode: Division number = 1000
■
In case of Detail mode: Division number = 5000
The test divides the HDD/SSD/eMMC virtually to “Division counts” of the fragments. Then, it reads 64KB-Sectors in each fragment
of HDD/SSD/eMMC from low LBA (Logical Block Address of HDD/SSD/eMMC) to high. If the test reads the 64KB-Sectors from all
of the fragments successfully, it will get 1 Pass.
This is the one cycle of the test. If you set the pass count more than one, the test runs more than one cycle.
The test reads 64KB-Sectors (it is part of one fragment) at same LBA for each cycle.

Test address …The LBA (Logical Block Address) of HDD/SSD/eMMC being tested now
▼
Drive information … The drive number currently being tested
▼
Progress status … The test progress by the progress bar
3) Test result
If the test runs successfully with all equipped HDD/SSD/eMMC, it will get a pass count. However, if an error occurs with one of the
HDD/SSD/eMMC
, the test is regarded as an error and it will get an error count.
■
In case of PASS
“OK” is shown in the “Result” field on the “Diagnostics” dialog.
The pass count is shown in the “PASS” field.
■
In case of FAIL
“NG” is shown in the “Result” field on the “Diagnostics” dialog.
The pass and error count are shown in the “pass” and” error” fields respectively.
