SSD Drive Testing Tools

[DavR]

Has anyone ever found a useful disk testing tool for SSD drives?

 

Every now and again I get a workstation with unexplained corruptions, that reoccur even after rebuilding the machine, that my gut tells me is probably a dodgy disk, but it would be nice to have a testing util that confirms one way or the other.

 

We usually see the problem in Kingston SSDs that we've bought for upgrades, but I've never found a tool from Kingston.

Downloaded one yesterday for Kingston from their main site. Not so much a tester but does have SMART stats and other info that might be useful.

Need something that reads every sector, SpinRite will do that, but there's probably free methods too

Was that the Kingston SSD Manager software? Yeah, I've used that one, although it always tells me everything is A-OK.

Kingston SSDs are known for this, they are so cheap and poor quality. Buy a good brand like Samsung or Intel and you simply don't get that issue.

 

In answer to the question, Crystaldiskinfo

True, you get what you pay for. But at the price saving we make on these versus something like Samsung, the failure rates are acceptable tbh.

 

CrystalDiskInfo sounds good, thanks guys!
