The same four questions as an SSD, answered separately, plus the one that matters most on an older mechanical drive: is it still healthy, and what does Windows actually say?
Version 1.14.1 · Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit and 32-bit · runs on your PC, opens when you want it
A drive that reports a failing status is the one finding the app treats as urgent. The prescription puts the backup first, before any repair: copy what you cannot replace, then show the PC to your engineer. It says plainly that a drive reporting this can stop working with no warning.
A mechanical drive is slow by nature, so a slow number alone proves nothing. What the app can prove is the interface: if the drive supports 6 Gb/s and negotiated 1.5, that is worth your engineer's attention. The app reports both and leaves the diagnosis to the person holding the screwdriver.
Yes. Every drive gets its own row and its own findings, largest first, with its type, size, model and link.
No. It reads and reports. Windows' own repair tools are available in the Optimizer, and each one asks before it runs.
One file, one install, and a check whenever you need one. Your engineer stays one tap away.
