SCSC Announces a 25% Off Sale on its Scannerz Product Line - Published on 04/03/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC has announced a 25% price reduction on their entire line of hard drive, SSD, and system testing products through April 10, 2015. Scannerz is an analysis tool utilizing advanced diagnostic algorithms that analyzes not only hard drives and SSDs, but the circuitry supporting them. This temporary price reduction will be in effect as of April 3, 2015. The products discounted will consist of Scannerz with FSE, Scannerz with FSE-Lite, and Scannerz Lite.

Reston, Virginia - Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC (SCSC) is thrilled to announce a week long sale on all available packages of Scannerz with FSE or FSE-Lite, and Scannerz Lite for the Mac OS X operating system. The sale will begin on April 3, 2015 and end at midnight on April 10, 2015. Every package combination will be discounted by 25% during this time.

"We thought right now would be a good time to offer a discount for several reasons," stated an SCSC spokesman. "With our recent improvements in support of Core Storage technology and extended support for both hardware and software implementations of RAID, we thought the price reduction might be enough to get potential customers to take a better look at all of our products. With other drive testing tools costing in the vicinity of $100 or more, our new discounted pricing will allow users to obtain a high quality drive testing product without spending a fortune. It hardly makes sense to us to spend twice as much on a drive testing tool as it does to get a new hard drive."

"The videos on our web site make it clear just how easy it is to perform a test on a drive or SSD and associated components without being a rocket scientist. We now have a newer video which illustrates Scannerz more advanced features when performing tests in Diagnostics Mode. Scannerz is the only product on the market capable of this type of fault detection. Hopefully people will realize that Scannerz is capable of out performing any other drive or system testing product on the market when it comes to detecting problems with hard drives, SSDs, internal and external cables, as well as the logic board and RAM."

SCSC has indicated that this pricing will be in effect only until April 10, 2015.

The discounted pricing for the products will be as follows:
* Scannerz with Performance Probe 2, Phoenix, and FSE will be reduced to $37.49
* Scannerz with Performance Probe 2, Phoenix, FSE-Lite will be reduced to $29.95
* Scannerz Lite will be reduced to $16.49
