A Trustworthy HD Utility Software?
I had heard unusual noises coming from one of my (Western Digital) external hard drives so I went and checked to see if everything is okay.
I currently depend on 'HD Tune Pro' to give me an analysis on my hard drives, may it be bad sectors or it's general 'health'.
HD Tune had found something, but I figured I would get a second look from another software.
When I ran WD's own hard drive utility software and ran an extended test to check for bad sectors it had found nothing?
Now, usually seeing as I had used WD's own software to check for the issues, I would probably lean more towards WD's test results; but seeing as HD Tune is saying otherwise makes me a bit wary.
As I did hear unusual noises coming from the hard drive and all, I can't ignore the idea that maybe WD's software missed the mark while HD Tune noticed what I noticed.
I don't know, maybe there's another HD utility software that is better or something?
Any input would be appreciated.
