    You could do that but I don't really see the fun in it.

    The programs/tools I make might not be the most complex in the world but they give me a form of satisfaction of learning something.

    You can always take the easy way out but I believe great things start from something small.

    This might aspire me to make even greater and complex tools, who knows?

    how does warranty service work when software programs like crystaldiskinfo and hard disk sentinel show 0% remaining life or whatever that % means on ssd but physical health still no errors? anyone tried to get replacement before warranty ends based on results of these 2 programs even though HP hardware diagnostics shows no errors

    Recently had a HDD issue leading me to believe that the drive was failing
    Managed to get all my Data transferred to another HDD (Lucky Me, or so I thought)

    Ran Disk Drill and lo and behold, it reported the the drive I thought was failing was perfectly ok
    however, it reported the drive I had my Data transferred to, as heading for catastrophic failure

    Just downloaded an ran your version 2 utility and IT states that both drives are ok, and more importantly no predicted failure

    Who/what to believe?
