DiskFresh

DiskFresh is a software application that provides users with a simple means of performing a HDD or partition refresh, receive notifications if damage is detected and generate reports.

The installation process does not take very long and does not come with any surprises, while the interface you are met with encloses a straightforward build. It only encompasses a few buttons and a pane in which to display the detected partitions. All types of users can learn how to get around it, including those with a low experience level.

This program enables you to refresh the signal of a hard drive by simply reading and writing each sector individually. It is possible to process partitions, as well as the entire physical drive, while removable storage devices are also supported.

You can choose to refresh only a particular range of sectors, or you can choose to perform this operation on the entire partition. In addition to that, you can pause or stop the process, so as to continue it at a later date, while a progress bar enables you to approximate the time left and reports are generated and opened in a Notepad window. No other notable options are supported.

Surprisingly enough, DiskFresh does not put a strain on the computer’s performance, as the amount of CPU and memory used is minimal. The interface is suitable to all users, the response time is good and our tests did not reveal any kind of errors, freezes, bugs or crashes. Taking all of this into consideration, we can safely say this piece of software is useful and reliable.
