True, but Scandisk comes nowhere near to what SpinRite does. Scandisk only
fixes problems after they happen, SpinRite prevents them. I once had a
power surge destroy everything in my system, except the hard disk which,
luckily, I had SpinRited the day before it happened.
I don't know much about DoubleSpace.
