Whenever I run Data Lifeguard Diagnostics for Windows (I currently have the latest version, v1.27.0.0) on one of my 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 systems, it always shows identical duplicates for all the non-RAID disks connected to my system!
For example, say I have the following three non-RAID,standard MBR disks attached (via the same controller):
(1): WDC WD20EARS 2TB drive, s/n 0001
(2): WDC WD10EAVS 1TB drive, s/n 0002
(3): Seagate ST31500341AS 1.5TB drive, s/n 0003
Then all three drives will always appear in the Lifeguard display as follows:
Drive # Model Number Serial Number Capacity SMART Status
1 ST31500341AS (IDE) 0003 1500 GB PASS
2 ST31500341AS (IDE) 0003 1500 GB PASS
3 ST31500341AS (IDE) 0003 1500 GB PASS
Surely this is a BUG , right?
It sure makes Data Lifeguard Diagnostics utterly worthless to me!
What can be done about this?
