New version of HDDSCAN is out. There is no changelog provided by the author, but it appears that the entire program has been rewritten from scratch. The program now has a new refreshed look :)
HDDScan is a freeware program for low-level HDD diagnostics, it supports IDE/SATA/SCSI hard disk drives, RAID arrays, external USB/Firewire hard disks, flash cards.
The program can scan the surface, view SMART attributes, adjust AAM, APM (Power Management), etc.
This software also has the possibility to create and mount images of the entire hard drive or separate partitions.
New version of HDDSCAN is out. Added SMART support and IDE Features control for some USB/FireWire hard drives. SMART attributes names are updated. Some bugs were fixed as well.

New version of HDDSCAN is out. There are a lot of improvements in the version 2.7. Now it is possible to pause the scanning, view defect lists and start/stop spindle on SCSI drives, control AAM, APM, SMART by using command line parameters. Also the possibility to send e-mails has been implemented. Some little issues have been fixed.

New version of HDD LLF Low Level Format Tool 2.36 is out. "Seek Error" is fixed, also improved compatibility with some USB devices.
This freeware Low Level Format utility will erase, Low-Level Format and re-certify a SATA, IDE or SCSI hard disk drive with any size of up to 281 474 976 710 655 bytes. Will work with USB and FIREWIRE external drive enclosures. Low-level formatting of Flash Cards is supported too. Low Level Format Tool will clear partitions, MBR, and every bit of user data. The program utilizes Ultra-DMA transfers when possible.
New version of HDD Wipe Tool 2.35 is out. "Seek Error" is fixed, also improved compatibility with some USB devices.
This freeware HDD Wipe utility will erase and re-certify a SATA, IDE or SCSI hard disk drive with any size of up to 281 474 976 710 655 bytes. Will work with USB and FIREWIRE external drive enclosures. Low-level erasing of Flash Cards is supported too. HDD Wipe Tool will clear partitions, MBR, and every bit of user data. The program utilizes Ultra-DMA transfers when possible.
New version of HDDSCAN is out. In this version 2.6 nice speed graphs are added along with other bugfixes and additions. SMART attributes now will be automatically saved into smart.txt.

Documentation ATA/ATAPI-8 revision 2b — AT Attachment — 8 ATA/ATAPI Command Set (January 10, 2006)The set of AT Attachment standards consists of this standard and the ATA implementation standards described in ATA8-AAM. The AT Attachment ATA Command Set (ATA8-ACS) specifies the command set host systems use to access storage devices. It provides a common command set for systems manufacturers, system integrators, software suppliers, and suppliers of intelligent storage devices.
The application environment for the AT Attachment Interface is any host system that has storage devices contained within the processor enclosure.
Volume 1 defines the register delivered commands used by devices implementing the standard.
Volume 2 defines the connectors and cables for physical interconnection between host and storage device, the electrical and logical characteristics of the interconnecting signals, and the protocols for the transporting commands, data, and status over the interface for the parallel interface.
Volume 3 defines the connectors and cables for physical interconnection between host and storage device, the electrical and logical characteristics of the interconnecting signals, and the protocols for the transporting commands, data, and status over the interface for the serial interface.
This standard defines the connectors and cables for physical interconnection between host and storage device, as well as the electrical and logical characteristics of the interconnecting signals. It also defines the operational registers within the storage device, and the commands and protocols for the operation of the storage device.

Victoria supports these interfaces: IDE and Serial ATA.
MHDD supports these interfaces: IDE, Serial ATA, SCSI. Also there is a possibility to access an USB storage, there are drivers for emulation (USB->SCSI).
This software can make precise diagnostic of the mechanical part of a drive, view SMART attributes, perform Low-level format, bad sector repair, different tests and tens of other functions.
