Utilities Needed for HDD & Memory

[FoolishMcNasty]

Could anyone recommend a utlity that will determine the exact make, model, size, speed of a hard drive?
Also, could anyone recommend a utility (free software) that checks if a stick of memory is bad?

Thanks...

Most drive mfr's web sites have a utility that will report the drive id. info plus test and/or wipe their drives. Memtest86 is a favorite memory tester here.

Open the case and look at the drive label.

Windows Device manager also may show the model, in which case you can look it up on the manufacturer's site for specs.

memtest86 is a good memory program.

Best hhd utility I have worked with is GWSCAN from Gateway. Dos based utility that will give you specs of a hhd plus it can run tests on drive if you suspect it's faltering.

Get GWSCAN here...
