We used to use it a lot in the 486 and Pentium days with the smaller hdd's but haven't used it for a long time. As mentioned, it takes a long time, all night or longer on a 30 -40 gig drive. Maybe the brand new one is faster. Also don't seem to need them as much with the new drives either or with NTFS I am not sure which is the case. Also Hdd drive manufactures now have their own diagnostic programs for their drives. Anyway I mentioned to the other tech a month or so ago about getting an upgrade and he didn't think it would be worth it for us.
