Hi Eriberto,
Here are my comments inline:

Hi,
My final text:
diskscan is intended to check a disk (hard disk, flash drive,
pendrive etc.) and find any bad sectors already present and
assess it for any possible sectors that are in the process of
going bad.
A flash drive is not a disk. I suggest:
diskscan is intended to find sectors of a storage medium (hard disk, flash
drive,
pendrive etc.) which are bad or in the process of
going bad.
By the way, what is a pendrive?
.
The operation is entirely read-only and does not cause damage
to the data on the filesystem.
That is misleading given what the next sentence says. I'd recommend either removing "on the
filesystem" or replacing it with "on filesystems".
As the program reads block
device sectors it will work whether there is a filesystem or
not.
.
diskscan reads the entire block device and notes the time it
took to read a block. When there is an error it is immediately
noted and also when there is a higher latency to read a block.
A histogram of the block latency times is also given to assess
the health of the media.
.
diskscan also can be used to test the speed and quality of the
removable / solid / portable medias, as flash drives. All sectors
of a perfect medium could be read at the same speed.
I am not sure I get the intent of this paragraph. Is it supposed to exclude hard drives? In any
case, "media" is already plural, so there is no need for the "s".
Can you check, please?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Eriberto

Hi Filipus,

Package: diskscan
Version: 0.14.1-3
Severity: minor
The extended description contains:
The operation is all read-only and doesn't causes damage to the data on
the disk.
This should read:
The operation is entirely read-only and does not causes damage to the
data
on the disk.
Really. But I will keep "doesn't". I think that haven't problem.
"n't" is acceptable but less formal and generally avoided in documentation.
By the way, diskscan can scan SSD-s, not just hard disks (or disks in
general).
Ok. The short and long description show HDD, SSD and flash drive. I
didn't understand the problem here.
Yes, what I meant is that the sentence I quoted ("The operation is entirely
read-only and does not causes damage to the data on the disk.") assumes the
storage media is a disk, which is incorrect.
Thanks a lot for your efforts to improve the package.
Thanks to you. I wasn't sure what more information you were asking, so let
me know if the above doesn't contain it.
Have a nice day.
Regards,
Eriberto
