Having recently purchased a bunch of East-digital drives, I couldn't be bothered waiting on the free standard that I got free here a while ago from Here. So the standard software only let me test one surface test per drive at a time, which for 3 drives it would've taken me 3 days. So, I decided to take the punt and buy the pro licence so I could run them all at the same time.

As someone who thoroughly enjoyed the standard I was more than happy to pay the $30 to support the developers, and heck the license is lifetime!

  How is this better than the free version?

    I don't have any personal experience, but for one thing, the OP mentions that they can do a surface test on multiple drives at once with the pro version. I clicked the link and got this:

      I can’t see anything there worth paying for that I’d use that I can’t already do with the free version.

        Fair enough. I can't see much that I would do with either version, but that doesn't mean this isn't better than standard for someone who does

          @Soapdroid: I never said it isn’t, I just asked the question.

    For me it was purely the multiple test at once. If it weren't for that I would've just kept the standard. Time and power savings were enough for me to just yolo purchase the pro version.

  I find the full paid version quite effective (I trialled a full version with no updates). I have been using it for a few years.

  Both my drives are monitored.

  Particularly with PC gaming and multiple application uses (also downloads and pirating), it's good to know the temperature of my drives (and obviously their life span).

  I sometimes have PC problems with the high temperatures (obviously)

  I paid for the full version a while ago.

  I'm in the middle of a six-month scheduled surface & self tests on my offsite backup USB HDDs, and having the ability to run multiple drives at once is great. It means I can get the whole job done in a weekend and return the drives to their offsite home in my office drawer at work on Monday.

  I was happy to pay the guy some money. I have had a couple of email exchanges with him, and he seems like a really nice guy who knows his stuff.

  Doing a search for that codes gives results even 7 years old. Yes, same code. Interesting.

  I've got a TON of drives, and need to scan a lot at once, so I'll try using pro.
