MACarter02 Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 You should maybe add pidgin, and curious if anyone knows a good software firewall alternative to zone-alarm? It's causing my Solid Works to FREAK OUT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_bowtie Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 A nice little tool ReelFiles turned me onto today.... HDD Health...it tells you the health of your drives...I found out today the Seagate 160gb drive I had suffered from being loaded with Vista and all that thrashing it was doing took a toll on the drive...drive health is 61% http://www.panterasoft.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReelFiles Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 I don't know if I'd blame Vista, I have the same drive and it's at 75% while all my other drives are at 100%, even my 20GB IDE drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Does it make any difference once you run a Defragmenter? It'd test but I'm at 99% on all my drives Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReelFiles Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Not on mine, I have defragged it many times. I see similar results with HDDs I test at work, which are also manufactured by Seagate. The proprietary software we use at work to determine whether HDDs are fit for server applications is similar to this app. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Not sure I follow? Are you thinking the software has a flaw? Seagates require a special (manufacturer) test. Or that you have seen a lot of Seagate drives with poor test results at work? v v v v v v v You and bowtie started this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 What he's saying is they see the same results at his work with different software....so it's not a flaw in HDD but with Seagate in general... I did defragment and I also did a scandisk and neither helped....I noticed under load of the drive the number will drop but after letting it cool down it comes right back....

ReelFiles Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 I think seagate/maxtor is crap, those are the only drives that have ever gone bad one me, and I've had a lot of drives over the years. Maxtor used to be decent, but now that Seagate bought them they are going down the drain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
