Introduction

The Western Digital Quick Tester is a simple-to-use universal EIDE
hard drive tester that requires no prior hard drive testing experience. It
was designed to work on all EIDE drives that support the Logical
Block Addressing (LBA) mode of operation. To operate, attach the
drive to the tester via the included 40-pin EIDE cable, apply power to
both tester and drive, and follow the directions as displayed on the
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). A computer system is not required,
but may be used to supply power to the WD Quick Tester and hard
drive.
