Description:
Hard Disk Sentinel Pro - a utility for monitoring and monitoring the status of hard drives. Allows you to identify potential problems, performance degradation and possible malfunctions. It can warn the user in case of detection of malfunctions or excess of temperature. Its possibilities obviously will not seem superfluous, especially in case of special value of the stored data at growth of volume of drives. The program monitors the status of hard disks, including temperatures and S.M.A.R.T parameters.
Additional Information:
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, a technology built into most modern drives) for each hard disk. Also measures the data transfer rate in real mode (this indicator can be used to test or determine the cases of underestimated performance in certain situations).
Works in the background and constantly analyzes the situation. If an error is detected or the threshold is exceeded certain parameters specified by the user will display a warning. In most cases, the technology of S.M.A.R.T. comes to the rescue, as this is one of the fastest and easiest ways to track changes in critical or critical drive parameters.
As the sizes of hard disks are constantly increasing, the data stored on them is increasingly valuable to the user of the computer (especially for the company or office). In this case, serious problems can occur after a hard disk failure. Hard Disk Manager can monitor the status of hard drives, including temperature and S.M.A.R.T. (self-test, analysis and alert technology, built into most modern hard drives) of each disk. The program also measures the data transfer speed of the hard disk in real time, which can be used as a benchmark test or detect possible hard disk failure, degradation of its performance.
The program can be used to prevent serious damage or loss of data. The program warns the user if there is a problem before it happens and will make it possible to make a backup of important and valuable data. Hard Disk Sentinel works in the background and constantly analyzes the status of the hard disk. If there is an error or unexpectedly detected behavior, the program warns the user about the current state. Usually the state of the hard drive can slowly deteriorate from day to day. S.M.A.R.T.-technology helps to predict possible failure by monitoring critical disk values. The program also displays the current temperature of the hard disk and remembers the previous temperatures that can be used to check the maximum temperature with a high hard drive load
Features of the program:
works with drives through IDE interfaces, Serial ATA and SCSI, determines the status and temperature in real mode; indications are displayed instantly, there is no need to conduct long-term diagnostics; displays the current and minimum temperature of the drives, specific attributes depending on the manufacturer; advanced users will find useful hours of use and the number of read / write errors; interprets the performance and state values of S.M.A.R.T. a percentage for a simpler understanding;
with the help of special icons on the disks, the system displays the main values of the state and used space, thus simplifying the control;
It is possible to output the current temperature values to the system panel and subsequent warnings, in case of exceeding the threshold values; if you want, you can view detailed information on the status of all hard disks in a special window or small window and a full schedule of temperature changes from the moment the program is started;
Identifies drive models and displays detailed information about each of them, starting from the revision number / buffer size, and ending with all its other properties; displays the current and maximum possible mode of data transfer;
the program calculates the total amount of data that has been copied or written to disk, displays the current read / write speeds and processor load;
information on all sections in the system is displayed, regardless of the number of drives; In the future, this data is used for automatic warning and status display;
In addition, a large number of additional options are available to configure for personal needs, advanced management of alerts, logging of collected data, synchronization of system time via the Internet, automatic shutdown and management of acoustic mode (if this function is supported by drives).
