HD Tune Pro Hard drive Detection Tool tutorial

HD tune is a foreign feature of an excellent hard drive detection tool, small and easy-to-use hard disk tool software, its main functions are hard drive transmission rate detection, health status detection, temperature detection and disk surface scanning. In addition, can also detect the hard disk firmware version, serial number, capacity, cache size and the current Ultra DMA mode, it can be a full range of hard disk testing, the whole process is simple, fast, and there are detailed test reports. Let users instantly understand the health of love machine hard drive!

1: Benchmark (disk performance) test

When you start the software, you will first show the model and current temperature of the hard drive, the default display is the disk basic test interface, in which users can click the "Start" button, the hard disk read and write performance testing, mainly including reading and writing data transmission rate, storage time and CPU occupancy, etc. and, The entire test process lasts a few minutes and the user needs to wait patiently;

Note: Because of the risk of writing tests, users are expected to use caution;

2: Disk Details

On the Information tab page, HD tune not only lists the details of each partition on the current hard drive, but also provides features supported by this hard drive. In addition, this screen also provides the firmware version of the hard disk, serial number, capacity, cache size and the current Ultra DMA mode, etc., can be said to be very detailed;

3: Disk Health Diagnostics

In the health picture, HD Tune also has a full range of physical examination of the disk, involving all aspects of the performance parameters of the disk, and there are detailed numerical display, such as read error rate, seek error rate, write error rate, temperature, power time and so on; may be a lot of performance parameters users are not very clear, But may let the user to the hard disk operation real condition probably has the understanding;

4: Error Scan test

In the error-scanning test page, the user can click the "Start" button to detect whether the disk has a damaged sector. But the user should note that if the "Quick Scan" option is not checked, then the running time will be longer, so it is recommended that users check this option to quickly detect;

5: Directory Use status

Directory usage I think it may be used to make the user feel a little confused, do not know what it means. But in fact it is very simple, click the "Scan" button, it will soon check out the current on your disk all the existing files and directory status, such as the current hard drive on the total number of files and directories, the size of each folder and the current use of the total capacity of the hard disk information, etc.

6: File Benchmark test

File benchmark test, mainly test the buffer performance of the hard disk and burst transmission capability. From the following figure test can be seen, small series of hard disk in 16MB file length test, in the 128KB to 1MB file block case read and write state reached the peak;

7: Disk Monitor

In the Disk monitor screen, the user clicks the "Start" button to be able to monitor the reading and writing status of the disk in real time;

8:aam settings

AAM's English is all called Automatic acoustic Management, translated into Chinese meaning-automatic sound management. The noise of hard disk is mostly caused by the vibration of itself and the continuous operation of the head, in other words, the higher the speed of the hard disk in the same environment, the greater the noise. This function is actually to adjust the noise when the hard drive is running. But be aware that not all computers can turn on this feature, and if this feature is turned on, the setting is adjusted to low noise may reduce the operating performance of the hard drive;

9: Random Access Test

The random access test is mainly to test the real search of the hard disk in the reading and writing data, and the total time of the whole process of the read and write operation, which can reflect the real seeking performance of a hard disk; the higher the number of operations per second, the better the average access time is;

Third: information, screenshot copy

In addition, HD tune provides the ability to copy display information and screenshots from the current interface to the Clipboard. The user can implement this function through the commands in the File menu and the shortcut buttons above the interface.

Four: Option settings

Users can also use the Options command in the File menu or

Shortcut button to set the relevant options for the software, such as startup mode, transmission rate test, temperature unit and font color setting, etc.

Summarize:

Overall, HD tune as a foreign top professional hard disk detection tool, its performance is very powerful, can like devotion the hard drive from the inside out to see all through. is not only a professional test disk performance of the ideal tool, but also the vast number of ordinary users to detect hard disk a sharp weapon!
