5 Ways To Check Your Hard Drive's Health - Windows 10 

My hard drive sounds like a Honda Accord... I think that is a good way to determine it's health.

Thanks, Dave. Sound information and I will certainly check out the programs you mention. And thanks for reminding us to check our hard drives on a regular basis because I haven't done it in quite a while. I do back up though, just to be sure to be sure. :) I love the pace of your videos and the fact that there is no thumping bass in the background and you speak calmly and clearly. Just what an instruction video needs. Cheers.

Clear, simple, well presented, and effective. A rarity in I.T. youtube vids. Thank you.

The way he speaks is really clear and nice to hear. Thank you for you nice information and knowledge.

Absolute legend, helped me save my hard drive with very important stuff on it from corrupting. Thank you very much.

Not every hero wears cape. Thanks mate.

Wow sr. this was awesome! Thank you for your help, were straight forward and simple. I did 3 out of the 5 tests and i found out that my disk is in a good healthy shape. Thank you so so much. Keep up the good work

This video is pure ASMR! It's so relaxing to watch.

Thank you so much for this ! i found out my Old HDD was failing. got a new m.2 on the way. Great video

I like your calm tone so much! Making already clear explanations even enjoyable to listen to. Really appreciate your tutorial. Used Windows bult-in program and CrystalDisk.

A very detailed and lucid explanation, thanks a lot.

An excellent video; thank you for putting the time and effort into producing it! You have a very calm and soothing tone of voice, that lends itself to giving advice. Great work! :)

Simple, elegant and just a lovely instructional video. Well done!

Thank you for your help. I found out the problem so I most certainly will have to get a new hard drive.

I'm not surprised by the number of views this video has. Straight to the point. No mumbo jumbo or annoying background music! 🤬 Great video man! It was very helpful for tech challenged individuals like me. 😁 Take care, regards.

Thanks for the help, it also really helped that you increased the size of the cursor

Thank you for the beautiful English. Your voice is amazing, very calm, and relaxing. (non creppy way) hahaha

Thank you, very very helpful!

Thank you for the video! I rarely comment on videos, but this really helps.

it's amazing you can find nice people who want others to repair there pcs simply themselves instead of having to go to a computer repair store

Great video. It is good that you pointed out everything in detail. My wife's laptop is really slow. The manual says it has 16 GB of DDR3L ram, but the system shows it only has 4gb. No. 2, it is a 5400 rpm hard drive, but a SATA lll will fit so Samsung here we come. Thank you so much. Windows is just to elaborate for these specs..

Good information and presentation on this video. Thank you

Superb commentating and tutorial on this, thanks.

Very informative. Thank you!

Simple and helpful, thank you

Thank you! To the point and very helpful!

Your way of explaining is so incredibly relaxing

thank u so much now i can check my hardisk health , thank u again

Really valuable information.. well explained Thanks

0:29 - Use The Command Prompt. 1:31 - Windows ' Check Disk." 2:58 - CrystalDiskInfo 4:58 - Hard Drive Manufacturers Software 6:23 - Hard Disk Sentinel If you're like me & you've bought a new HDD and want to check it *is* brand new and unused, skip to step 3 or step 5. Also, thanks dude, great video; super clear and to the point! I've just ordered a new 5TB HDD from Amazon, but Amazon are notorious for selling returned/used items. If a HDD has been formatted, will these softwares still show me how much it has been used/turned on etc?

Straight to the point , thanks mate you gain a new sub

Earlier my hard drive was not detected by my system and after a restart it was. However, it was extremely slow so I looked it up and found this video. My drive shows Pred Fail so I am currently backing it up. Thank you

Thank you for the info. I was searching for items that would help with this issue. I think my laptop HD is failing, so backing it up will be step number one! I figure that any method of isolating bad sectors will corrupt the OS. BTW, It appears that someone has just taken your specific 5 methods and shuffled them around a bit to create a " 5 Methods to Check your Hard Drive Health in Windows 10 | Know about Bad Sector" video (uploaded 3 March, 2020). They even use the same two third-party tools as examples. That jumped out at me as, per my searching, i know there are other third-party tools they could have shown. Not much can be done about it, I'm sure. Just though you should know..

Everythings good i was worried cause i got the stage 1: somthing other at startup

Absolutely. Fabulous. A lot crammed into very little time. It was a pleasure to both upvote and watch the entire ad without Skip Ad as a gesture of appreciation to you. My boss is having some issues, and I watched this for him. (Is that brown-nosing? :-) )

Stellar video, great work

I'll watch this video in loop mode to help me sleep, this guy should make ASMR videos =Instant hit.
