How to check the disk for fast, just like the "Drive Medic" ?

How to check the disk for fast, just like the "Drive Medic" (System Mechanic 15.5) application. No problem large partitions check in a few+ seconds, it's much faster than any other CHKDSK parameters.



I want to know how it is possible?

What does Driver Medic actually check though? If anything at all?

Checks partitions, if it detects errors, it indicates that a repair is required, or only cleanup of security descriptors.
However, the tool does not work well for many partitions, there is a bug (sought by the developers, but not possible to disassemble, therefore removed tool in future versions of System Mechanic 16, 16.5, 17, 17.5). That's why I want to find out how to check each partition for errors and "security descriptors" in take seconds or minutes. Will I know the answer?

It likely just reads the S.M.A.R.T. values from the HDD/SSD then.

You are wrong, it checks drive errors 1 out of 3 like CHKDSK, but faster, much faster. No SMART, you're wrong. I know better, because I use logs, and how to detect, for example, that there are errors or need to clean up the security descriptors, then I check the partitions more thoroughly.
I still have not got the answer, how to check large partitions in a few seconds like Drive Medic.

chkdsk /scan /i /c c:

Incorrect parameter /scan


parameter /I /C do not speed up the scanning partitions with millions of files.
System Mechanic Drive Medic hundreds of times faster scan (even for many millions of files!!!)

chkdsk /i /c c: - VERY SLOW!!!

Drive Medic - 10000% fast

About 17 seconds on my system, with this command: 100GB HDD/SSD ?

Please Test 8TB 40 mln files Drive Medic scans with the speed of lightning!!! few minutes.

Sorry, Win10 here, 240GB SSD (c: partition: 100GB).
Ask system mechanic drive medic developers how they can do it. :smile9:

I asked many times without any answer. This program has long been no longer developed.
