How to know exactly whether your hard drive is healthy?

Bad sector is one of the biggest threats to hard disk and the data inside. Even new hard disks from trustworthy brands and sources could come with defects, let alone to say if your hard drive has served you over years. Don’t be surprised when your TNAS is running slow or with errors, like random crash. They are just saying it is time to check and repair bad sectors on your hard disks.

However, SMART test only prompts some performance indicators of the hard disk, and does not fully indicate the real health status of the hard disk. Even if the SMART indicator is normal, it does not mean that the hard drive is healthy. To make sure whether your hard disk is faulty, especially physical damage, you need to use some professional tools.

Here are several popular disk check utilities which may help you find out the issues on your drives correctly.
