Can I check HDD health with Acronis
I have 2 Hitachi 2.5 sata HDD's. I wanted to check to see if they are healthy. First I used Seagate Seatools and they both failed the long generic test. Seemed weird to me so I did some research online and found that a HDD should be scanned by its manufacturer's tools. I then went to Hitachi's website only to find they no longer let you download their tools. As you can see on the link below they redirect me to Acronis.

So I went to Acronis and downloaded the full version of Acronis true image, but can not locate a way to test the health of the drive. Can someone please show me how to do this. Thank you in advance for any help!

I downloaded the upgrade and it didn't work. Even though I actually paid more since I bought true image a few weeks ago the serial is invalid for this deal...What a mess. I will just call them tomorrow to sort this out.

Acronis does offer a tool for monitoring drive health know as Drive Monitor I am providing links below for your convenience. One describes the Drive Monitor and it's uses the other links to the download site for the tool itself.
