If you need to obtain detailed information on a Western Digital (WD) hard disk drive (HDD) or run a diagnostic test on a drive, you can use the free Western Digital Dashboard diagnostic tool from Western Digital. You can also use the program to update the firmware for a drive.
When you first run the program, you will see a My Devices window displaying the Western Digital drives the software has found, both USB-attached and internal disk drives. Other storage media will be shown under Other Devices.
Click on the Western Digital drive you wish to check on to see details on that drive including disk space used, disk space available, and disk space capacity as well as the interface speed, drive temperature, health, and performance information.
