Fitness Test (version 3.01) |
| The Drive Fitness Test (DFT) provides a
quick, reliable method to test IBM SCSI and IDE hard disk drives.
The Drive Fitness Test analyze function performs read tests without
overwriting customer data. (However, Drive Fitness Test is bundled
with some restoration utilities that will overwrite data). The users
guide PDF covers how to use Drive Fitness Test and the included
utilities.

Features: |
Supports SCSI and
IDE drives
Note: Currently, the Drive Fitness Test does not support
IBM Microdrives or Travelstar E drives. |
Analyzes drive fitness |
- Three modes of operation:
-- High confidence level Quick test (unmatched in the drive
industry)
-- Full media scan
-- Exerciser
- Performs real-time analysis of IBM drives to quickly determine
whether the drive has a problem.
- Identifies system problems such as cables, temperature, etc.
- Automatically logs significant drive parameters to track
potential impacts to the operation of the drive.

Restores drive
fitness
Note: these utilities will overwrite customer data and allow
repair of bad sectors. |
- Erase Bootsector utility (use DFT Utility option: Erase Boot
Sector)
- Low-level format utility (use DFT Utility option: Erase Disk)
- Filesystem-based Corrupted Sector Repair (use DFT Utility
option: Corrupted Sector Repair)

Download Drive Fitness Test |
| Note: This download creates
a self booting diskette to run the DFT utility. You can create the
diskette under Windows or Linux but you must start your system with
the bootable diskette to run DFT. DFT can only be used with x86
based processors. |

| A
Mode Sense and Inquiry utility for SCSI interface disc drives.
Detailed information about each of the mode pages is given along
with a SCSI Inquiry report. This program operates through the
standard ASPI device driver supplied by the SCSI host adapter
manufacturer. This program can tell you more about your SCSI drive
and its current operating parameters. Optional save of Mode Sense
data to a file for later reference. Very detailed documentation
provided.

This is a MS Windows-based application that uses ASPI to provide a
generic interactive command interface to any SCSI hard drive. In
addition to providing interactive commands to a SCSI hard drive,
this tool provides advanced scripting features for writing functions
such as testing or applying updates to SCSI devices. ASPIMENU also
has extensive help text relating to SCSI. |

This is a MS Windows-based application that uses ASPI to provide
support and utility functions for Western Digital SCSI hard drives.
With this application you can create dump files that contain support
and log data, format drives, short stroke drives, copy one drive to
another, perform read and write/read qualification testing, generate
defect data lists, and convert between logical and physical
addressing schemes.

This is a MS Windows-based application that uses ASPI to provide
a graphic representation of peripherals connected to the SCSI
architecture. The tool's initial release detects devices, builds the
graphic model, and provides a hexadecimal & ASCII dump of the
Inquiry data from the devices detected.
