I need some verification on some stuff from Members that have Hitachi Drives

Oddest thing my DFI Expert Board has gone bye bye and need to get it RMA'ed so I decided to Run Hitachi Drive Fitness Test on all of My Hitachi Drives today or at least 4 of them anyway and what I found after a 2 1/2hr session of attempting to Run the tests on the Drives on both the SB600 & Silicon Image v=controller is that Hitachi Drive Fitness Test as well as my $100.00 SPIN RITE6 Program thatss the standard in the IT Induastry and Pinacle of HDD Testing Software cannot and will not acknowledge either onboard controller and refuses to see any of the Hitachi Drives ....$^%^%#@#$^&^&* F@$R$$T$ ing SB600 ...POS

Can anyone with a Hitachi Drive please verify this Finding with Hitachi Drive Fitness Test in DOS? Now I don't expect any of you to own SpinRite6 as it costs $100.00 for the HDD testing Program vs the "FREE" H.D.F.T
