In this educational video guide I will show you how to check for a bad hard disk drive or solid state drive for your windows laptop or desktop computer.
I will try out two great applications hard disk sentinel and crystal disk info that I use a lot to check my disk drives or SSDs for health or if they are failing so I can backup my important files or clone them to another good HDD or SSD.

Here you can try them out by yourself:

Thanks for watching hopefully this short video helped you in some way, and I wish you good luck and a great day.
