I am a Mac user. Not a techie but an enthusiast. I purchased a secondhand Windows for the sole purpose of running SpinRite 6.1 from time to time to refresh my SSDs and long term storage.
Fighting the BIOS has been frustrating, depressing, and defeating. I really didn't sign up to devote hours to getting a piece of preventative maintenance software running. This has been entirely disheartening. I just pulled my laptop out of the trashcan where I dumped it earlier this morning. It still may go back.
To bypass this misery I would happily purchase a device with SpinRite installed. Please, for the love of God, are there any authorized distributors of a SpinRite appliance?
