Softpedia Editor's Review for VSO Inspector
|
A tiny utility to report various information about your hardware configuration
Written by Bogdan Popa on May 2nd, 2012
VSO Inspector is a lightweight Windows software solution developed to show information about your CD and DVD drives, using a very simple interface to interact with its users.
This isn’t quite the kind of tool addressed to beginners, so more experienced users are clearly the ones targeted by the app and you shall discover this just after launching it for the first time.
Although it relies on a tabbed layout, VSO Inspector displays a great amount of information that could sound like rocket science to rookies, especially because there’s no help file available.
VSO Inspector thus scans your CD and DVD drives and shows devices information, such as vendor, model, firmware, buffer size, region code and control, user changes and vendor resets left, read and write features.
Additionally, VSO Inspector can provide details concerning the inserted media, including media type and ID, speeds, capacity and sectors, volume label and sessions.
A dedicated scanning feature helps you detect any possible error that may exist, while a separate sector viewer makes sure you can check the entire content of a specific disc.
VSO Inspector is not at all a resource hog and it works flawlessly on all Windows versions, but it’s pretty clear that it still needs some major improvements.
While it can all be only milk and honey for experienced users, beginners have absolutely no chance of using this program, not only because it shows such a great amount of information, but also due to the fact that a help section is completely missing.
