SSD-Z is een programma dat uitgebreide informatie over de in de computer aanwezige drives kan geven en dan natuurlijk met name over solid state disks. Voor de naam zijn ongetwijfeld andere informatietooltjes zoals CPU-Z en GPU-Z als inspiratiebron gebruikt. Het geeft informatie over de fysieke kenmerken, zoals fabrikant, capaciteit, interface en wat voor type geheugen er is gebruikt. Verder laat het ook zien of trim aan staat, wat voor partities er aanwezig zijn en of de alignment goed is. Tenslotte kan het ook een eenvoudige benchmark uitvoeren. Enkele dagen geleden is er een nieuwe versie verschenen en de changelog daarvan ziet er als volgt uit:
Changes in SSD-Z 16.01.18 bèta:
- Added many new devices with the help from everyone who submitted their SSDs.
- Device Tab: For devices that report it, the form factor can now be viewed in the Interface field tooltip.
- Submit Tab: No longer uses the GetVersionEx() API function, as it was deprecated with Windows 8.1.
- Identify Tab: Improved the listing and selection of words and bits.
- Partition Tab: Added new column, which shows the percentage that each partition occupies of the total capacity.
- Removed some debug code from the previous release that was accidentally left in.
- Submit Tab: Fixed the Unix Timestamp using local time instead of UTC.
- Submit Tab: Removed a lot of unneeded SMART attribute queries when generating the JSON data.
- Updated the "Full Update" button, so it's actually being drawn with the active Windows theme.
- For SSDs with an unknown controller, SMART attributes are no longer based on what is most likely for that vendor, and will use the basic fallback descriptor instead. This behaviour was causing certain SSDs to display some attributes very incorrectly, especially the bytes read/written.
- Moved the SMART attribute query code into the device core. Previously, each tab that needed access to SMART data, had to query it themselves. This caused extra overhead as both the SMART and Submit tab was querying SMART attributes.
- The "Bytes Written" field on the Device tab, should be better at pulling the data from the most precise attribute.
- Submit: Fixed an issue with malformed JSON data under certain circumstances, causing the submission to fail.
- Device Tab: Added "SATA Speed" in the balloon tooltip for the Interface field.
- Device Tab: Added "WorldWideName" in the balloon tooltip for the Device Name field.
