I have a few questions on hard drives:
1.) Do they have some sort of built in error checking?
2.) Do they verify their writes (ie do they write data then veryify it)
3.) Is there a good, free, and compete HD diagnostic and testing utility that boots of a CD?
I ask because I have a few questionable drives (oldish, perhaps damaged due to my carelessness) That I want to check, as I will be putting unbacked up data on them.
