This diagnostic tool is available for use by customers who feel their Fujitsu Branded Toshiba hard drive may not be operating normally.

Hi All Can anyone recommend a hard drive diagnostic tool for Toshiba MK6465GSX. Have done some research on this topic and from my understanding, there is no tool released by the manufacturer which actually works - the story is that Toshiba tests come back as failed even if the drive is OK. I currently have no problem with my drive but am interested to know in case of any future problem. Therefore a solution is not urgent. I also looked at DOS Seatools however it seems that the DOS version can only be used on Seagate and Maxtor drives. So if anyone has any suggestion on a bootable diagnostic tool for my make of drive please post. Ty in advance for replies.

Thanks for the reply TVeblen Yes I think it is the Seatools on the Hirens boot disk. There are other hard drive diagnostic tools on the Hirens disk also, but from past experience I dont believe they work as usually they will bring up a FAIL even if the disk is known to be working. I assume you have answered as either you own a Toshiba or do systems maintenance - would this be correct? If this is the case, I also assume that you have used the Hitachi fitness test and found it to be reliable?

I have to say that I find it very dissappointing that Toshiba dont release a drive diagnostic which actually works. Think I may contact them and ask why this would be when most other drive manufacturers release a test tool. My old machine is a Satellite A200 which I am about to crack open and clean the heat sink, reapply paste etc. Due to an overheating issue. I guess this was to expected- it is 5 year old after all.

Still - even with this model there was a lack of diagnostic tool. The drives (2 x 200GB) in the A200 are Toshiba labelled but I'm 99% sure that these were manufactured by Fujitsu. There is a Fujitsu diag. Tool for Toshiba drives but I can't remember if either a) it didn't work or b) it was not compatible to use with the drive model. Manual Lg Rh7500. I seemed to go around in circles looking for the right answer with both the old and new drives for Tosh. Again - ty for the reply and in advance to the questions I've asked in this post if you happen to get this message Cheers - Edit: Hirens does also have a Toshiba tool and yes I have tried it and no it doesn't work - it will only FAIL drives even if there is not a problem.

I have three hard drive diagnostic tests I use here to test drives for systems I repair or build from discarded parts, WD, Seagate, and Hitachi. I use the Hitachi on on all drives that are not WD, Seagate, or Maxtor. Toshiba probably does not produce their own diagnostic tool for the reason you've mentioned: they do not manufacture hard drives, only sell the Fujitsu manufactured ones branded Toshiba. Fujitsu makes drives for other companies too, so any diagnostic tool that they would use will work on all the different branded drives they make. Windows has it's own hard disk diagnostic: ChkDsk.

Have you run this yet? What does it give for results?

But I am curious about your pre-diagnoses: that these drives are know good and it is the diagnostic that must be failing. Why bother testing them at all? If you are just shopping for a test that will give you the 'right' answer then that is not a test at all. Hard drives do not always fail spectacularly. Sometimes the death is slow and painful.

The danger to most people is loss of data. The purpose of the diagnostic test is to try and flag drives that have started showing signs of potential failure so the user can have time to back up data or upgrade the drive before disaster strikes. It would not make much sense to have a diagnostic that only tells you that a dead drive is dead. Most of these diagnostic tests are very rudimentary.
