Every now and then a fellow computer technician will visit the site and inquire as to what software I use or recommend. Well my toolkit is pretty massive but the application I usually transfer over first is called D7. D7 is a compilation of many different computer technician tools and the author of the application is constantly working on it. Most common software related computer repair situations can be resolved from D7. The solution may not always be obvious as the interface is far from perfect but rest assured it really is an immensely useful utility.

D7 also makes it very easy to keep popular tools up to date as the application can simply download the newest versions of commonly used computer repair software. Many different computer repair technicians including myself have contributed ideas to implement into D7. I also use dSupport which is another program from Foolish IT LLC the makers of D7. If I had to pick another software tool that I use almost as much as D7 I would probably have to go with AS SSD Benchmark which is NOT an SSD only utility. AS SSD Benchmark quickly lets you know if theres issues with sata drivers, partition alignment, and also lets you quickly test transfer speeds and access time.
