evaluation of the drive's condition. The short drive test can take several minutes to
complete.
The more comprehensive drive diagnostic is the full test. It methodically tests each and
every sector of your drive. You will be informed of the condition of the drive once the test is

test progress and whether the drive passed or failed the test.
