Hi,

I just purchased a SanDisk Card Reader. Are there any tools or commands that could display the SanDisk Industrial 32GB microSD Card. I’m using Windows 7 and Windows 10 PC systems. Please advise. Thanks!

Kind Regards,

  • Locate your SanDisk microSD card in the list to view its details.

The previous answer will help you find the manufacturer details of your external SD card. If you want to get a clear status on the drive’s health, third-party software like CrystalDiskInfo can provide more detailed S.M.A.R.T. data than built-in tools. These programs offer a user-friendly dashboard with reports, such as drive temperature, error rates, and a visual health indicator (e.g., “Good,” “Caution,” or “Bad”), and so on.

If you want to check the health status of your internal hard drive, you can follow these steps:

  1. Click the search icon on the taskbar and type “Command Prompt” in the search box.

  2. Right-click on Command Prompt and select “Run as administrator.”

  3. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:
    wmic

  4. Next, type the following command and press Enter to check the health of your SSD:
    diskdrive get status

Checking SSD Health on Windows:

  • If the status shows “OK,” it means your SSD is working normally (refer to the result in the above example image).

  • If it shows “Pred Fail,” this indicates your SSD may be failing, and it’s recommended to back up your data immediately to avoid potential data loss.
