How to scan, fix and troubleshoot disks with Powershell

I still see the old good chkdsk command everywhere in blog posts.

However, since Windows 8 and Windows 2012 Server you have now the Repair-Volume which is doing the same work.

Like for the chkdsk tool, you have the scan, spotfix and the OfflineScanAndFix parameters.

In addition, here are some other useful tools cmdlets:
Get-VolumeCorruptionCount
Get-Storage​Reliability​Counter
Get-File​Integrity
Repair-File​Integrity

I invite you to have a look at the official documentation of these cmdlets just below.
