Hi folks,

background story:

I have two 250 GB ATA Harddisks from Western Digital (WD2500JB and WB2500BB) and I don't know if they are working properly. They were running in a RAID0 and when the volume started to behave strangely (rebuildings, clicking noises), I wiped the whole thing.

Since then I rarely use the harddisks, only for second backups or something, but they seem to work correct. However, I'd like to know if they are still reliable.

Question:

Can someone please recommend me a program that analyzes a harddisk closely? (ATA, Western Digital) Should be more detailed than chkdsk.
Thanks in advance.
 
What he said.

If they are still in a RAID 0, you may have to break the array for the diagnostic program to see them.

Get the bootable cd iso, as the Windows version is not as reliable.
