SpinRite

SpinRite is a software tool designed to diagnose and repair hard drives and storage devices. It works by scanning the drive for errors, bad sectors, and data integrity issues, then attempts to recover or restore any damaged areas. By doing so, it can improve the performance and extend the lifespan of storage media. SpinRite operates at a low level, interacting directly with the hardware, which allows it to repair problems that other programs might not detect. It is often used to maintain or recover data from aging or malfunctioning drives before replacement becomes necessary.
