Works with all operating systems.

Isn’t too hard to use.

Samsung HUTIL

Also functions as a data destruction tool.

Only works with Samsung hard drives.

Must boot to a disc to use the program.

Has a text-only user interface.

SeeHow to Boot From a CDfor more on that.

You may need toreplace the hard driveif it fails any of your tests.

If you’re not sure if you’re using a Samsung drive, open asystem information toolon your system.

Plus, it’s really nice that it works with any operating system.

However, the obvious disadvantage is that it only supports Samsung hard drives.

I do like that you might use Samsung HUTIL to erase the contents of a drive.
