I’m trying to monitor the health and performance of my 8TB HDD to troubleshoot some speed issues. Are there any reliable tools you’d recommend for checking drive health, bad sectors, or performance metrics? Any tips on how to interpret the results or resolve common issues would be greatly appreciated! 
Hi @jack_jin ,
To monitor the health and performance of an 8TB HDD, tools like CrystalDiskInfo, Stellar Drive Monitor, and HD Tune are highly effective. These tools track S.M.A.R.T. attributes, detect bad sectors, and provide real-time performance metrics. Advanced solutions like SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor (SRM) offer detailed insights into disk health, capacity, and performance trends, ideal for proactive maintenance. Regular checks with built-in utilities like CHKDSK and firmware updates are also essential for optimal performance.
