Opening H2W Files
The H2W file type is primarily associated with H2testw.
What is an H2W file?
H2W files mostly belong to H2testw by Harald Bögeholz. H2W file extension is associated with storage device diagnostic tools like H2testw and F3. These tools are used for detecting counterfeit flash drives, measuring reading and writing capacity of USB, SD cards and check their performance when these storage devices are evaluated by programs and the data generated is stored in the H2W files. The H2W files are proprietary files. H2W files belong to the miscellaneous file category.
- Main Usage: The H2W file format is used by files that store detailed media storage reports of storage devices evaluated by programs like H2testw. These reports are generated after user commands for beginning the test of the functionality of storage devices.
- More Information: When more than one H2W files are generated with detailed reports after performing the test, they are named with consecutive numbers. The size of H2W files generated follows a pattern that is specific to each diagnostic tool. For example, H2testw generates H2W files of size 1GB in multiples of 1MB to fill up the whole space of flash card or drive.
How to open H2W files
You need a suitable software like H2testw to open an H2W file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your H2W file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a H2W file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert H2W files:
- H2testw by Harald Bögeholz
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. H2W files are often referred to as H2testw data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
- F3 (storage media test data file) by Michel MachadoF3 is a software for checking errors in hard drives and flash drives. It is an implementation of the algorithm used by H2testw. H2W files are data files created by F3 on a drive when the drive is tested. After testing, the H2W files can be safely deleted. This file format is classified as Data.

H2W file format:
Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Below is our analysis of the H2W files:
H2W is rarely used as a file extension and mainly uses a special format. The two most popular formats are as follows:
- 80% of all H2W files are H2testw test data files. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The file size is in the range of 160 MB to 1 GB. The file type is relatively new. The files contain the following words: pM4k!. Examples of file names are 1.h2w or 2.h2w.
The remaining 20% of all H2W files are files with no common format. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your H2W file!
