- Reads stored data from each blocks, writes back the contents and finally reads the information and compare with original contents. By the extensive test, an additional write cycle is used before writing back the contents to improve the efficiency of the error correction (drive regeneration).
- The operation is usually safe for the stored information but data loss may occur if the system is not stable and/or upon power failure, overclocking, memory/power supply/cable problems and other factors.
- The test can be used to refresh the data area of the storage device, without the need of complete erase but it is still recommended to backup important data before this test.
- The test measures transfer time for all blocks to reveal which areas of the surface are slower. As the block is slower, the associated color is darker.
