●The amount of 10GB does the reading test of all the sectors by sequential lead in the first half of an HDD test.
●The second half portion of an HDD test divides the remaining domains into 5000, and leads every 64KB of each point.
●When a test carries out a loop, the test which is 10GB of the first half does not perform. 10GB of this test is already completed.
●A test When carrying out a loop, A test start point is offset so that the place which tested by then may not be overlapped.
An offset position is computed in the following formula.
A head address is changed whenever a test carries out a loop. A different domain by that cause can be tested.
