Crystal Disk updates its SSD benchmark and diagnostic tools

When one of the components of our PC does not work well, relying on our lynx eyes, in 99% of cases, is of absolutely no use. In these cases, it is necessary to use an application that is responsible for analyzing the component that we know or think is failing.

The storage unit It is one of the most important parts of any PC and if it fails, we have a serious problem, not only because of all the data stored inside, but also because it can reach the point of not being able to start the computer if it has a physical, partition or any other problem.

On the Internet we can find a large number of applications, some free and others paid, that allow us to analyze the operation of the HDD and SSDcheck if the performance is the same as when we bought it and check if everything inside works correctly to know if we have to worry and run out to buy a replacement.

Among the free applications of this type, at HardZone we always recommend Crystal DiskMark to check the performance of the storage unit and in CristalDiskInfo to check the state of the HDD or SSD of our PC. Both applications have just received a new update, the news of which we detail below.
