IIRC it tests also USB and Firewire drives, but you have to format the HD in Mac format first (it doesn't work, or doesn't do many test, with FAT/NTFS formats).

I think it's a good test for the HD's health, and I always check it before installing or selling an HD. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
