Here's the deal...
I have a 9 year old 3.5 WD 60gb hard drive and as I often get disks
like this in trade or whatever, Is there a software program out
there that's very good at judging the "hardware health" of a disk? I
haven't had great experiences with "s.m.a.r.t" status in the past...
what about "drive genius"? and is it worth the money? your
experience?
Use the free tools you already have: Zero the drive with Disk
Utility, then check the system log for any thrown errors.
