The status of the hard disk is unknown.
The status of the hard disk is perfect.
The status of the hard disk is not perfect.
Failure expected on this hard disk.
There are \1 bad sectors on the disk surface. The contents of these sectors were moved to the spare area.
Based on the number of remapping operations, the health of the disk was decreased in different steps.
Based on the number of remapping operations, the bad sectors may form continuous areas.
The drive found \1 bad sectors during its self test.
Problems occurred during the spin up of the disk \1 times. This can be caused by the disk itself or huge power load (weak power supply).
There are \1 weak sectors found on the disk surface. They may be remapped any time in the later use of the disk.
Problems occurred between the communication of the disk and the host \1 times. In case of a sudden crash or reboot it is recommended to try a different, short data cable (avoid round cables, use 80 wire standard cables instead).
It is recommended to examine the log of the disk regularly. All new problems found will be logged there.
The hard disk status is PERFECT. Problematic or weak sectors were not found and there are no spin up or data transfer errors.

The hard disk is operating in PIO mode which reduces performance. It is recommended to check and replace data cable or modify the configuration.
The hard disk is operating in UDMA mode 2 (33 Mbytes/sec) which reduces performance. It is recommended to use a 80 conductor IDE cable if the controller supports higher data transfer rate(s).
Silicon Image (SiI) controllers may not provide complete information about all connected disks. 
The current disk controller driver does not provide full access to the disk itself to read all details. Please check if there is an updated driver available.
This USB storage device does not provide more information about itself. Anyway, it can be tested for problems by Disk -> Surface test function.
This RAID array does not provide access to disk details in the array. Anyway, it can be tested for problems by Disk -> Surface test function.

Hard Disk Sentinel Evaluation Version
The registered version of Hard Disk Sentinel offers highest level of data protection by alerts, disk diagnostics, automatic backup (PRO version only), remote management and further functions to test and increase stability and performance of storage devices.\n\nThis demo version should be used for up to 30 days to evaluate some of the most important functions and verify compatibility with the system. After that trial period, you should upgrade to a registered version by purchasing a license or stop using the software.\n\nBenefits of purchasing a licensed version:\n\n- highest level of data protection\n- fast, secure and flexible payment options\n- immediate access to all functions and unlock all features\n- free technical support and help\n- lifetime license, no subscription or renewal costs\n- no restrictions and annoying notices

Please select the drive (accessible to the operating system) to be tested and the testing method.\nRead the detailed information carefully before starting the test.\nClick View for surface details, use the \1 or review previous test results.
Read test
Reads the disk surface to verify if all sectors are accessible and readable.\n\nThe test is safe, it does not affect stored data.\n\nDisk problems may remain hidden and revealed disk issues are NOT fixed (like with ScanDisk).
WRITE test
Overwrites the disk surface with configurable pattern. Forces the analysis of any weak sectors and verifies any hidden problems and fixes them by reallocation of bad sectors (this is drive regeneration).\n\nEnables better use of the disk as after the test the spare area will be used instead of any problematic sectors.
WRITE + read test
Overwrites the disk surface with configurable pattern and then reads back sector contents, to verify if they are accessible and consistent. Forces the analysis of any weak sectors and verifies any hidden problems and fixes them by reallocation of bad sectors (this is drive regeneration).\n\nEnables better use of the disk as after the test the spare area will be used instead of any problematic sectors.
Read + WRITE + read test (refresh data area)
Reads stored data from each blocks, writes back the contents and finally reads the information and compare with original contents. By the extensive test, an additional write cycle is used before writing back the contents to improve the efficiency of the error correction (drive regeneration).\n\nThe operation is usually safe for the stored information but data loss may occur if the system is not stable and/or upon power failure, overclocking, memory/power supply/cable problems and other factors.\n\nThe test can be used to refresh the data area of the storage device, without the need of complete erase but it is still recommended to backup important data before this test.
Reinitialize disk surface
Overwrites the disk surface with special initialization pattern to restore the sectors to default (empty) status and reads back sector contents, to verify if they are accessible and consistent. Forces the analysis of any weak sectors and verifies any hidden problems and fixes them by reallocation of bad sectors (this is drive regeneration).\n\nEnables better use of the disk as after the test the spare area will be used instead of any problematic sectors.\nVery intensive and time-consuming test, especially if the level (the number of overwrite cycles) is set to higher value.\n\nThe simple version of this test is usually (incorrectly) called as low level format by other tools.

but the current physical sector size is \1.
Connecting the hard disk differently than the current connection (by different hard disk controller, USB, eSATA connection) may cause that all folders and files will be unaccessible.
It is recommended to re-connect the hard disk as previously connected (probably with different USB adapter, enclosure, docking station or so) to access the partition with all stored data - otherwise data loss may occur.

RepairDesc=Reads the disk surface to verify if all sectors are readable and forces the disk drive to repair any problematic (pending, weak) sectors: restore the status to good or reallocate (replace from spare area) if required to prevent further use of the original sector.\n\nThe test is safe for stored data and the damaged file(s) will be readable, however file fragment(s) on damaged sectors may be corrupted. File(s) on the affected repaired sectors are listed when the test completed.\n\nThe test is best to be used to repair drives with weak sector(s) without the need of complete backup (and use of the Reinitialize disk surface test) and works on both system and secondary drives too.
