As far as I can see, HD Tune Pro has been the best and most popular universal hard disk testing and diagnostic toolkit all the time. It can show you all the performance parameters of any kind of storage media, including Firmware version, Capacity, Serial number, Buffer size, SATA standard, supported UDMA mode and the supported features like read-write speed, burst rate, ...

Besides, HD Tune Pro has many practical functions, some important for AppNee are: hard drive bad sector scan, transmission rate test, health detection (S.M.A.R.T.), working temperature measurement, CPU usage, securely erase all data and much more.
