Is there any software to make sure a hard drive/SSD is OK? I mean: that it hasn't any bad sectors, that it can be partitioned OK (without actually having to partition it) and that the file system is OK.
I was surprised the other day when I saw that a hdd passed these two tests using a USB docking station: verified with Disk utility (Apple Yosemite) and Storage diagnostics (which looks for bad sectors etc) and then, after installing it into its iMac it COULDN'T BE PARTITIONED. I had to take it out again, annoying.
