SpinRite, by Gibson Research, is a tool that can diagnose, repair, and rejuvenate the low-level formatting and optimize the interleave of MFM and RLL (ST412/506 interface) hard disk drives. Its pattern testing ability is also useful for verifying the operation of SCSI and IDE hard drives.
For a much more detailed explanation of what SpinRite does and does not do, see: Software spotlight: SpinRite
Spinrite 4 adds a faster pattern testing method and increases support for larger drives.
