MHDD does similar stuff but is free, need to do a post on it as well. As for HDDScan it is simple way to test surface right under Windows, a lot of folks need and ask for just that. I've tried CrystalDiskInfo but constant minor updates, alphas, betas, whatever annoy me a little. :) @Pallab

Gonna give it a try. But to be honest the only software that I really trust is SpinRite. Its the grand dady of all HD tools and is still the best by far for diagnostics as well as repair. For SMART I use CrystalDiskInfo (those guys have a separate tool called CrystalDiskMark for benchmark). The software certainly looks pretty (looks identical to WMP). Gonna give it a try.
