Macrorit Disk Scanner Portable

Whether it is the fact that you are getting power outages frequently or you recovered from a virus infection that lead to error-correction codes mismatches, there are several ways a hard disk can end up with bad sectors that do not respond to read and write request.
Macrorit Disk Scanner Portable is an application designed to help you scan your HDD for bad sectors and hence, help you prevent data corruption, data loss and even hard disk failure if your PC is rapidly developing such issues.

Works with both local and external drives

The utility comes with a clean look and a user-friendly, so it is unlikely that you can encounter any issues. You can select the drive that you want to test for errors and wait for the tool to finish the analysis to determine if the issues are caused by bad sectors or you need to investigate further.
It is worth mentioning that the application works with a plethora of local and external drives, including but not limited to iPods, Secure Digital cards, Micro cards, USB and Compact Flash drives, DE HDD, SATA, IDE, Hardware RAID, SCSI, FireWire, SSDs and Floppy drives.

Does not include a tool to address bad sectors

Generally speaking, the duration of the scan depends on the size of drive, so you are likely to diagnose a smartphone SD card faster than a local drive. Then again, you should know that the program comes with an option that enables you to scan only specific areas from the drives, providing you have a clue about the area that is responsible for errors and data loss.
On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that the application does not include a function that allows you to fix or remedy the bad factors detected. Moreover, the tool is specialized in identifying bad sectors and does not help you find other possible HDD issues.

An intuitive utility that helps you detect HDD bad sectors

In case you file transfers have become relatively slow, you are experiencing errors or have recovered from a power outage or virus infection and you want to make sure your hard disk is alright, then perhaps Macrorit Disk Scanner Portable could lend you a hand.
