Reviews for Macrorit Disk Scanner Pro Plus Edition
Do nothing special, less than old Hd Tune 2.55, Hd Tune reads S.M.A.R.T.
The program checks 500 Gb HDD over 3 (three !!!) hours. It’s so slowly!

hey, the 500 GBytes is roughly 1000 000 000 sectors. if the scan took 3 hours, it means the program tested about 10 000 sectors per second. Quite good result, actually…
This softare will NOT mark the bad sector, so is basically, useless.
What is the point of a scandisk software who dont care to mark the bad sectors??? Disappointed, i waster basically 8 hours for a scan who did nothing about the bad sector this scandisk founded in my hard drive.

I was thinking the same, then i search a lot and sadly almost no software mark bad sector, also, is not good to mark bad sector because the closest one will be, likely, bad too, soon enough. the best way is to find out where are the bad sector, with a software like this one and then partition the hard drive in a way a partition will have inside all bad sector and closest one, and then make the partition with bad sector, invisible and unused, this way operative system will never write around the bad sector and likely the hard disk will degrade less in time.
What do you mean ? Macrorit says : “When bad sectors/blocks are found, we mark them as red. The bad sectors are in scan log.” There are screenshots supporting this on their site.
