    I just downloaded the Acronis Monitor ( Basd on this Forum's recommendation) and it says I have problems with all my drives - running at 50-60 percent capability.
    Yet the Acronis tool, which also is from Acronis - as part of Seagate Disc Wizard - shows everything is fine.
    Why the discrepancy?
    Thanks:confused

    I'm not familiar with all of the programs mentioned, but I'm assuming it has to do with the amount of free space on the drives, and possibly the degree of fragmentation on the drives. The Seagate Disc Wizard is probably reporting that your drives are mechanically and physically healthy and sound, while the Monitor is probably reporting the actual performance of the drive which will decrease over time as the drive becomes filled with data and fragmented.
