Need a software to check HDD life or issues/Bad Sectors

[ajayritik]

Can someone suggest a software that will be able to check if there are any issues with HDD like Bad sectors or any other small issues.
I have 3-4 HDD's which need to be checked if they are good.
I remember using a software which suggested issue with one of the HDD.

Kindly help.

HD Tune is a good software for that.

Use Crystal Disk Info Portable which is free of charge and usage.

+1 to HD Tune and Crystal Disk Info. Both are adequate.

Comes with Hiren's BootCD for free . Also, Pro version is paid one, not the normal version.

Normal(Free) version does not have write capability.
Also where is the Hiren's BootCD free iso???

Guys I'm getting caution Message for 2 of the HDD's. What can I do to check more details on this?

Do I need the portable version should I go for the full version of CrystalDisk?

 

[topgear]

portable version is better. Anyway, best will be to use HDD manufacturers diagnostic utility. Preferably bootable version like seagate seatools bootable version.

Only thing is on couple of HDD's it says Caution but I'm not able to decide why is that message being displayed for that HDD?

Crystal Disk Info does the job for me.

I always find crystal disk info as my goto drive status checker.
