Scannerz Lite is a simpler version of Scannerz and does a simple pass/fail evaluation of a drive.
Scannerz Lite is an abbreviated version of Scannerz for Mac OS X. Scannerz Lite uses the exact same, advanced drive testing and scanning technology used by Scannerz, however it is lacking some features, thus making it easier to use. The fully featured version of Scannerz is intended to be used by individuals that know their way around a computer system pretty well, whereas Scannerz Lite is much simpler, and intended to be used by people that simply want to know if their drive is in good working order without having to spend the money for extra features they have no intention of using. Unlike the fully featured version of Scannerz, Scannerz Lite does not have cursory mode testing with configurable test parameters, normal mode testing with the historical data analysis used in drive profiling, an active logging window, two different testing modes, or report generation at the end of a full drive or volume test. Scannerz Lite is essentially a "Fire and Forget" application in that user simply selects the drive or volume they wish to test, click on the start button, and let Scannerz Lite evaluate the drive. When the test is complete, it issues a dialog indicating whether or not the drive passed its test. Like Scannerz, a Scannerz Lite test can be started, stopped, paused, and resumed at a later day or time. The product also comes with a users manual. Scannerz Lite is upwardly compatible with Scannerz for Mac OS X.
It's inexpensive, easy to use, and allows tests to be stopped and resumed at a later date.
Cons
Could look a little better, but for 8 bucks who cares as long as it works.
Summary
This product is perfect for someone that might think they've got problems without spending a ton of money. It really just gives you a Yea or Nay on test status. Very simple and easy to use, and it works well.
