HDDScan is a freeware utility for hard drive diagnostics (RAID arrays, Flash USB and SSD drives are also supported). The program can test storage device for errors (Bad-blocks and bad sectors), show S.M.A.R.T. Attributes and change some HDD parameters such as AAM, APM, etc. HDDScan can be useful for performing the regular 'fitness test' for your drive and predicting its degradation, so you will be able to prevent data loss and backup your files before you will have to contact the data recovery service. Additionally, software can be used as the hard disk temperature monitor and reading/writing benchmark – performance graph is displayed for every test.
Supported storage devices: - IDE (ATA) and SATA HDD. SCSI (SAS) HDD. External USB drives and all major USB boxes (see Appendix A). FireWire or IEEE 1394 HDD (see Appendix A). RAID volumes made of ATA (IDE) / SATA / SCSI HDDs (surface tests only). USB Flash (pen drives) – surface tests only.
SATA / ATA SSD – solid state drives. Storage device tests: - Verification in linear mode – helps to determine if your drive needs data rescue, has recoverable errors or in its perfect shape. Reading in linear mode – simpler, but faster disk check. Erasing in linear mode. Reading in Butterfly mode (synthetic random read).
S.M.A.R.T.: - Reading and analyzing SMART parameters from ATA/SATA/USB/FireWire HDD. Reading and analyzing Log Pages from SCSI HDD. SMART tests running on ATA/SATA/USB/FireWire HDD. Temperature monitor for ATA/SATA/USB/FireWire/SCSI HDD. Additional features: - Reading and analyzing identity information from ATA/SATA/USB/FireWire/SCSI HDD.

Changing AAM, APM, PM parameters on ATA/SATA/USB/FireWire HDD. Reporting defect information on SCSI HDD. Spindle start/stop function on ATA/SATA/USB/FireWire/SCSI HDD. Reports can be saved in MHT format. Reports can be printed. Skins support.
Command line support. SSD SMART and Identity reports. What's New in Version 3.3 of HDDScan.
Salvation Scan and Restoration Program is developed by Salvation HDD Research Center, the world-famous HDD repair and data recovery research institute which developed numerous professional HDD repair and data recovery software. This program is the only one known professional program which can scan HDD over 136 G directly that need not the support of computer mainboard with high speed. It can utmost afford 2000 G HDD in theory, supports IDE interface only, no SATA or SCSI ones at the present; A breakthrough of this program is that, without depending on BIOS, it can control read and write to the HDD directly, with high-speed, veracity, friendly interface and simple management; there will be an intuitionistic and intact report for the physical defective sectors created after the scanning. The continual defective sectors can be easily skipped; therefore the defective HDD will not get stuck. There is a Restorer in this program which can restore the usual physical defective sectors.
Limitations: This is the CDROM version of the download.

Like other fake defragmenter tools, it will simulate a system scan and “detect” numerous critical errors, e.g. “Read time of hard drive clusters less than 500 ms”, “32% of HDD space is unreadable”, “Bad sectors on hard drive or damaged file allocation table”, etc.
Next, the rogue will ask you to pay for the fake software before it “repairs” your machine of the problems. Of course, all of these errors are a fake. Thus, you can safety ignore the false scan results.
