Only software to display well the SMART results of SSDs and HDDs
[HD Tune] has been split into two editions. [HD Tune] is legacy v2.55 portable and installer (circa) 2014, both FREE.
[HD Tune PRO] is upgraded legacy (installer) to v5.75 (27-Aug-2019) PRO is more advanced than the legacy edition. PRO is only available as installer (no portable) PRO cost $34.95 usd (€24.95 ) ... no freebies.
One concern I have is the developers website is an insecure domain (http:) Downloads and "blurbs" for legacy [HD Tune] are available from softpedia ... https://www.softpedia.com/dyn-search.php?search_term=hd+tune
Compare [HD Tune] and [HD Tune PRO] ... 81% of PRO features are not available in legacy editions. SOURCE: PRO download page, scroll down to comparison panel ... http://www.hdtune.com/download.html
There is no forum, support by email only.

This is a great tool for measuring the performance of a Hard Drive. It will measure the Max and Avg Read Speed. It will also measure the drive temp and list the drive features. Also, the tool will allow you to run diagnostics on the drive to find errors. It has a nice user interface.
