Avoid the problems of unreliable BIOS and OS device driver stacks - use AHCCMDT, AHCNCQT, ATACT, ATADEMO or ATAMDT and perform some real testing of your ATA/ATAPI products.
Try out the free demo/eval versions of AHCCMDT, AHCDEMO, AHCNCQT, ATACT, ATADEMO, ATAMDT and BIOSWRT!
Read our { EXECUTIVE SUMMARY } and learn why you should be using our products to test your ATA (HDD or SSD) or ATAPI device.
ATA-ATAPI.COM also provides the C source code for the three ATA/ATAPI drivers: ATADRVR, ADVDRVR and MINDRVR. ATADRVR is used by ATACT and ATADEMO. ADVDRVR is used by ATAMDT. MINDRVR is ideal for use in embedded systems. The source code of these drivers is free and in the public domain with no restrictions on how they are used. Use these drivers to create your own testing programs.

| AHCCMDT | AHCCMDT is a write/read with compare test for Serial ATA devices.
AHCCMDT also randomly issues most other ATA commands including
power managment and SATA Partial and Slumber.
AHCCMDT supports write/read command sector counts of 1 to 65536 and
logical sector sizes from 512 to 32768 bytes.
More information. Free demo/eval version (AHCCMDTD.ZIP). Full AHCCMDT documentation. |
An x86 PCI bus system with at least 1GB of memory, at least one AHCI SATA host controller. Intel AHCI host controllers are recommended. | 1Z January 2012 |
$800.00 Customers of ATACT or ATAMDT may receive a discount. |
| AHCDEMO | AHCDEMO is able to execute any ATA/ATAPI command,
using the standard ATA/ATAPI command protocols,
from keyboard input or script file input. Perform
write/read tests with data compare using only a few simple
commands. Script files support IF/ELSE logic, CALL/RETURN
for subroutines, WHILE loops, built-in and user defined variables
and much more. AHCDEMO supports most SATA specific features such as
Partial/Slumber, COMRESET, and NCQ/FPDMA.

| AHCNCQT | AHCNCQT is a write/read with compare test for Serial ATA NCQ (FPDMA) commands.
The goal of AHCNCQT is to maintain a full queue of 32 NCQ (FPDMA) commands
in a device. AHCNCQT supports write/read command sector counts of 1 to 65536 and
logical sector sizes from 512 to 32768 bytes.

| ATACT | ATACT is a basic write/read with compare test. But ATACT
also uses most of the ATA commands, such as power management.
Note: If you are testing SATA then you really should be using AHCCMDT. More information. Free/demo version (ATACTD.ZIP). Full ATACT documentation. |

| ATADEMO | ATADEMO is able to execute any ATA/ATAPI command,
using the standard ATA/ATAPI command protocols,
from keyboard input or script file input. Perform
write/read tests with data compare using only a few simple
commands. Script files support IF/ELSE logic, CALL/RETURN
for subroutines, WHILE loops, built-in and user defined variables
and much more.

BIOS INT 13H calls.
More information. Full BIOSWRT documentation. |
One device that is supported by BIOS INT 13H:
- PATA, SATA or SCSI drives, - SATA drives attached to AHCI controllers in AHCI mode, - USB flash or disk drives. |

| ATADRVR | ATADRVR is a basic low level I/O driver for ATA/ATAPI. It
supports all the ATA/ATAPI command protocols for PIO and DMA
(both ISA bus DMA and PCI Bus Mastering DMA). ATADRVR also
supports all four PCMCIA PC Card ATA interface modes. ATADRVR
supports one or two ATA/ATAPI devices on the same ATA channel.
ATADRVR was developed using Borland C 4.5x for execution in DOS
real mode.

| ADVDRVR | ADVDRVR is a basic low level I/O driver for ATA/ATAPI.
It supports up to eight devices on up to eight
