  1. me again... ps: I'm currently running and a) on the HDD simultaneously... since last night....what do you think of this scenario (for HDDS) ?
  2. Hi Fiery, Thanks for the clarifications and tips. One more thing, as I was hesitating between the Extreme and te Business edition of your softw. I read that the business Ed. has scripting feature. Would I be able to perform what is intended here with scripting ? ps: for the record, i've been doing this at least twice a year for the last 10+ yrs (i don't know how many hdds i have anymore)... was using unix tools such as bonnie++, orion, etc... only now I have to familiarize myself with Windoze alternatives, such as your softw. Cheers !
  3. Hi ! I got your software (Extreme Ed.) from recommendation earlier this week. Context: -I have this PC/box that has been running for 2+ years (win xp pro), - 3 new disks were added to the system last week (2 SSDs and 1 HDD). - The system already had a RAID-1 (set of 2 disks) and 2 other drives, which run well and don't need testing. Task: - I need to insure the new disks are reliable / stable enough to use them (as i have limited time to return them to the shop). solution Ideas : a) running System stability testing : option Stress Local Disks (only) From what i understand, using this test will stress all drives on the system, but i need to test only 3 drives out of 7. Is there a way to select which drives will be stressed ? running disk benchmark on each drive for 12-24 hours in loop mode (except for the Buffered Write test which you do not recommended for SSDs) Apparently this should not be used for SSDs at all, so I have to revert to a) . Also, running Write tests in loop mode (on the HDD) waits for "Drive Erase" confirmation on every loop, so I've renamed it "manual looping", unless there is a way to disable this confirmation ? c) this would be your suggestion :-) Thanks !
