Hard Disk Sentinel is a hdd monitoring tool that will help you find possible hard disk problems, performance degradations and failures. It can alert if a problem detected or if temperature is too high and it has other reporting options
As hard disk sizes are constantly increasing, data stored on them are more and more valuable for the user of the computer (and this is especially true for a company or office). Serious problems can occur upon a hard disk failure
Hard Disk Sentinel can monitor hard disk status, including temperature and S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, built in most hard disks today) values for each hard disks.
Also it measures the hard disk transfer speed in real time which can be used as a benchmark or to detect possible hard disk failures, performance degradations.Hard Disk Sentinel can be used to prevent serious damage or data loss
. It warns the user before a problem may occur and this gives opportunity to backup important and valuable dataKey features of "Hard Disk Sentinel Professional":
- Easy to use interface
- All information are displayed in the main window of the application. Quick controls allow easy navigation to access all hard disks, partitions and different information. Intuitive user interface elements display information by using green/yellow/red color to indicate the level of problem. Detailed text description and context sensitive help guides the user thru the features and options.
- 1. Install > 2. Configure > 3. Stay protected
- Just install, configure alerts and backup options and your system is now safe.
You'll be notified about the problems - but if everything is correct, Hard Disk Sentinel just sits on tray and displays current status. The data is protected even in 24 hours daily, 7 days a week. - Instant S.M.A.R.T. analysing - Hard Disk Sentinel can communicate with IDE, Serial ATA and SCSI hard disks to detect their status and temperature.
Disk status are displayed immediately as you launch the application, there is no need to analyse disks for a long period. It displays the current and maximum temperature for the hard disk. - It can read all general and vendor-specific attributes and monitor their values.
For advanced users, all raw data are displayed also including power-on hours or number of read/write errors. Hard Disk Sentinel interprets the performance and fitness related S.M.A.R.T. values and displays the calculated Performance and Health percentage, total power on time and estimated lifetime remaining. - Disk status in Windows Explorer
View the current health status and used space in Windows Explorer or in any other application, so you'll always know the amount of used space for each partitions and the disk condition. - Information on demand
It can display current hard disk temperatures and health on the system tray, in a small status window and on the desktop itself. Average and maximum temperatures are logged for all hard disks and these informations are displayed in graphs for statistical purposes. - Logging
Hard Disk Sentinel logs all degradations in all SMART parameters. For example, if a new uncorrectable sector is found on your hard disk, you will be notified. - Alerts
Hard Disk Sentinel can make different kind of alerts upon different problems. It can execute various tasks (even external applications) in case of a problem. There is an option to send daily emails about current status. - Hard Disk Details
Detects and displays every information about the hard disk, from the revision number and buffer size to all features it has. The maximum available and current transfer modes are also displayed. - Hard Disk Performance
Logs how much data were read from or written to the hard disk. Displays current transfer rates for both reading and writing and estimates the maximum available (theoretical) transfer rate for a particular hard disk. - Hard Disk Partitions
Displays partitions for each physical hard disks and type and usage informations about them so you cannot run out of space. Hard Disk Sentinel sends this information automatically in alert/status messages. - Shutdown
It offers option to shut down the computer on failure, overheat or parameter degradation. This option can be used to prevent further data loss. - Acoustic Management
It offers option to control the acoustic level of IDE/S-ATA hard disk. It is possible to increase performance or make the disks more silent. - Clock Synchronization
It offers option to synchronize the PC clock with an atomic clock via NTP (Network Time Protocol). - Improvements
Hard Disk Sentinel is constantly improving. More features will be available soon. If you have any idea which can be useful, just let us know.
Improvements and new features:
- displaying lifetime writes for SSDs or lifetime start/stop count for hard disks (if available)
- displaying current TRIM status of SSDs
- displaying daily minimum temperatures
- improved text description for both HDDs and SSDs and special situations
- option to specify standard width for sidebar gadget (Configuration -> Status window)
Improved hardware support:
- improved LSI RAID controller support
- improved power on time detection for mobile hard disks, SSDs and SCSI hard disks
- added Intel SAS RAID controller support (RS2BL080, RS2WC040, RS2WC080, etc.)
- added support for SAS expanders (Intel RES2SV240, Supermicro CSE-M28E2, etc.)
- added Intel Z68 RAID controller support, displaying both SSD and hard disk status
- added support of external RAID enclosures with 2-8 hard disks
- added support for ICY Dock (2x2.5" -> 3.5" converter)
- improved compatibility for some USB hard disks
- improved detection for older hard disks (small capacity Quantum, WDC, Maxtor drives)
- 100+ new hard disks and SSD models added to database
- improved report sending
- improved listing of S.M.A.R.T. attributes, keeping selected attribute when new hard disk selected
- improved display of offline disk information
- invisible mode fixes (service mode without displaying user interface, just issue alerts and provide details via WebStatus)
- all tray icons can be hidden (no need to display at least one tray icon)
- tray icon menu fix
- improved disk surface test (random, butterfly test improvements; fix for Windows 2000)
- fixed date/time format on some Windows 7 systems
