The Storage Device Block Driver Application Programming Interface (API) Test assesses the functionality of mass storage block drivers. It includes test cases that verify that a block driver is working correctly so that you can mount a file system on the disk.
Note
During the test, all information on the storage device is destroyed. The test writes to and reads from sectors on the storage device without preserving the contents of the sectors. Microsoft recommends that you back up data on all cards and disks that are attached to the tested device before running the test.
The Storage Device Block Driver API Test examines whether a block driver can read from and write to a disk, verifies data located on that disk, and then tests all disk boundary conditions. To work correctly, a mass storage block driver is not required to pass all test cases in the Storage Device Block Driver API Test.
