Did not see any Western Digital diagnostic software online. Is there any programs that can be used with SATA to check drive integrity?

BTW- I use 2 WD Raptor in Raid 0
OS-XP

I haven't seen any for any of WD's SATA line. I'd like to know too.

Look for AIDA32 on Google; it gives SMART info, if it can find it. It's in the program's Storage section (once it's installed of course).

maybe WD has come up with a way for these SATA drives to never die... which is why you don't need diagnostics or anything...

(oops, sarcasm knob broke off and it's set to 100)

haha, seriously though I'm sure they'll take a while.. I remember it took forever before we could make a WD diagnostic disk in win2k because of something they had to work out...

you should call them up or email them... I'd be curious to see what they have to say.
