PCDVD數位科技討論區 - Seagate硬碟檢測軟體疑問

使用Seagate提供的SeaTools for Windows v1.1.0.21（多語含繁體中文）
http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.j...000dd04090aRCRD

引用:

These tests include:
‧SMART Check -
‧Short Drive Self Test - 20 to 90 seconds long
‧Long Drive Self Test - may take up to 4 hours, progress in 10% increments
‧Drive Informationn - be saved to the Log file
‧Short Generic - three-part test
‧Long Generic - progress in 1% increments
‧Advanced Tests - SAS and SCSI only

Q1. 想把Seagate硬碟做完整徹底檢測是否用「硬碟長檢測」就可以？
Q2. 硬碟長檢測（Long Drive Self Test）跟常規長檢測（Long Generic）有何不同？

另，SeaTools for Windows裡頭的說明檔有提到

引用:

During the "Long Drive Self Test" progress is reported in 10% increments only. On large drives, 10% progress may take as much as 15 minutes. The apparent lack of activity often gives the impression that the drive or software has stopped responding. Please do not abort the Long Drive Self Test unless an adequate length of time has elapsed to complete the first 10%. Unfortunately, this 10% granularity is an industry standard.

IMPORTANT: If bad sectors (LBAs) are detected during the test, then diagnostic will halt with a Fail status. If you are testing an internal PATA (IDE) or SATA disc drive, in this case, we recommend that you run the Long Test in the bootable version, SeaTools for DOS, which has the ability to repair sectors in most cases. SeaTools for DOS is available on seatools.seagate.com.

Q3. 使用SeaTools for Windows檢測到壞軌會停止檢測並報錯，所以並不會影響資料安全？
Q4. 使用SeaTools for DOS檢測到壞軌會嘗試修復壞軌，所以要檢測前最好要先備份資料？（修復壞軌後會不會造成資料毀損無法讀取？）
