In order to keep hard disks in healthy condition, it is always required to scan it regularly for errors and physical damages especially when an abnormal shutdown or restart takes place. For this purpose CheckDrive is a good application to try out.
CheckDrive is a free and simple application and works under Xp, Vista and Win 7. It shows all drives on your hard disk including the externally connected storage devices. You can choose any one among them for error scan. It scans the selected drive quickly and you can also view details of the drive with respect to total space used and free. This utility also provides information about the number of garbage files and amount of defragmentation on the scanned partition. To find garbage files it gives washandgoand for defragmenting it provides Jetdrive, these can be downloaded by clicking on the provided link in the software.
When this application is run for the first time, it asks for your Email address and sends you a serial number, this takes no time and soon you will be ready to work with it.
My Verdict
This is a useful and simple application. I did not find the defragment statics useful and hence downloading the given application for defragmentation is not required.
