"It does what I needed done."
Version: HD Tune 2.55
Pros
Nice little utility to get your HD information.
Runs on Win 7 just fine
Can benchmark drives for performance
Temperture, SMART item statusCons
One small item. On my Seagate 1T it shows it as healthy yet yellow lines three status items--with no explanation what the yellow line means.
A built-in definition and OK operating ranges for the stats woulod be very helpful.Summary
I am keeping it as my office gets warm in summer and I want to keep an eye on drive temps. Plus the cost was great (free)

"Check drive speed to see if it's slowing your system!"
Version: HD Tune 2.55

Can check all drives in your computer, even USB flash drives and external hard drives.
Shows temperature of internal hard drives.
Check for errors on the drive (wear and tear).

Only checks speed for one size of file at a time.
Summary
Is your computer running slow? Is your several-years-old hard drive making Windows seem sluggish? Do you suspect it may be time to upgrade/install a new, faster drive? Did you just buy a fancy new SSD type drive and want to know how fast it is? This HD Tune utility program is just the thing to run a health and speed check on your hard drive(s). Drive speed varies depending on file size, so check the speed at, say, 3 different file sizes (or more) to get a good idea of overall performance. At the top of the HD Tune window click on the little yellow "gearwheels" icon, then on left-hand menu click on "Settings". Now you'll see a drop-down menu that lets you choose a file size. Suggest you test small file (4kb), medium (512kb), and large (4MB or 4096kb). Also take note of drive temperature at top of main window. If it's above, say, 38 C. then you need more airflow in your case or the drive is worn out! All in all, a handy utility to have around.
Typically, drive speed for small files (4kb) is much lower than it is for medium (512kb) and large (4MB) file sizes. A good, modern hard drive should manage a speed of 80MB/sec. - 110MB/sec. on large file size. An SSD drive will usually manage 220MB/sec. - 280MB/sec. on large file sizes.

"great little program"
Version: HD Tune 2.55
Pros
Great program!
Cons
No cons that I can think of...
Summary
The SMART data was the most important feature to me - keeping track of a drive's reallocated sectors is very important. (If its more than 0, get ready to install a new one). Second most important: the Benchmark and the very quick Error Scan. And drive temperatures are good to know as well.

"This is an excellent tool to use in a pinch!!"
Version: HD Tune 2.55
Pros
Graphical interaction and user friendly.
Cons
I understand that testing and scanning a hard drive takes time, but maybe the time frame can be cut in half or even a third.
Summary
Great hard drive tester. I really enjoy using it. I recommend this product to anyone!
