Q. Is there a way to create custom grade profiles for Hard Drives and SSDs. I have different customers with different requirements such as allowed reallocated sector counts and power on hours.

A. Yes, in XErase navigate to Premium->Device Grading. Here you can type in the name of a grade (ex: Grade A), assign it a color and add in the parameters you wish to use in order to achieve this grade. There is also a health score option that we provide that gives a grade of 1-100 for the overall health of the drive. Once you have your grade set up the way you want, you can repeat these steps for Grade B and so on.

In addition you can select from 5 different Self Diagnostic tests, as well as Seek Tests and Write/Read Tests.
