Good HDD Util

1Kurgan1 · Jul 24, 2009

My HDD's seem to be very sluggish recently, and its starting to get very annoying. Looking for a good way to pep them up, I'm not sure what utilities there are out there for error checking or whatever there is, but link me some good stuff

I've used seatools on my WD AAK disks before, as well as a dead pair of seagate drives.

Got defraggler, defragging it right now, main HDD was pretty heavily fragmented, freaking crappy windows defragger. Hopefully this helps *cross fingers*
