Alright, so my friend just got 2 HDD's for free from someone at his work. They are one 120 Gig(That one he's giving to me =D), and the 100 Gig(he's keeping it for himself because he says he doesn't need that much memory. We would like to know how to see if these HDD's actually work :3. Could you help by explaining how we can test them? _________________

Just hook it up to your pc as a slave drive and try adding info to it, if it takes the info with out a bunch of clicking andgrinding or giveing errors its a good drive.

You can also get the program Speed Fan which is free and go to the "smart" tab and it will check the drive you select and tell you how good everything works. The program itself is also pretty nice since it allows you to set how fast your fans run and you can also overclock your cpu. _________________

True but Speed Fan is da s*@t man overclock your PC and adjust your fans so your PC runs at a good temp and the fans aren't runnin full blast. Also the little chart it gives you for the smart tells you how well it performs, its fitness level, (how well it truly works) and it tells you the max and minimum speed etc.. that the HD is workin at. _________________
