Digital Media Doctor Reports


When you finish testing with Digital Media Doctor, you can view, print, or save the report data from the tests by clicking on Report in the tool bar. The report will give information on bad sectors, read and write speed, as well as the data transfer rate and speed rating of your media.

In the report, you will be shown the specifications on the media, such as capacity and available space, volume label (where applicable), and the error status of the test being run. If a test is cancelled, then the test will show as cancelled by the user. You can print or save the report for later use by clicking the print or save button. Clearing the report will also clear the completed or cancelled tests that

were used to create the report. You will also see the average IO speed on the card, and how that relates to the Xfactor or Speed Rating on the media. See the chart below for more information.

What is the X for? How fast is my media? The rated speed naming convention refers to the maximum data transfer rate for that device. This rating is similar to the rated speeds for CD-ROM drives. The rating for the original CD-ROM speed was based on the transfer rate of an audio CD, i.e. 150KB/sec. A singlespeed (1x) CD drive had a maximum data transfer rate of 150KB/sec. The larger the Xfactor, the faster the maximum transfer speed of the device. A "2X" device would have a maximum transfer speed of 300KB/sec. This table shows the approximate KBS speed and the associated X-factor With Flash Storage devices, the read speed usually will exceed the write speed.
