Download HDD Sentinel For Hard Disk Monitoring And Health Check Softwarre 5.70

Hard Disk Sentinel (HDD Sentinel) is a hard disk monitoring software with the support of HDD/SSD drives. Its goal is to find, test, diagnose and repair hard disk drive problems, report and display SSD and hard disk health checker and repair, performance degradations, and failures. It gives a complete textual description, tips, and displays/reports the most comprehensive information about the hard disks and solid-state disks inside the computer or in external enclosures (USB / e-SATA). Many different alerts and report options are available to ensure the maximum safety of your valuable data.

The software monitors hard disk drive / HDD status, including health, temperature, and all S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology, which is now built into most hard discs and solid-state discs). It also measures disc transfer speed in real time, which can be used as a benchmark or to detect potential hard disc failures and performance degradations.

Hard Drive Sentinel (HDD Sentinel) is the ideal data protection solution because it has the most sensitive hard disc health checker and repair system that is extremely sensitive to hard disc problems. This way, even minor HDD issues are not overlooked. The Professional version includes scheduled and automatic (on-problem) hard disc backup options to protect against data loss caused not only by failure but also by malware or accidental deletion.

Hard Disk Sentinel Hard Disk Health Checker And Repair Features

Instant S.M.A.R.T. analyzing
Hard Disk Sentinel can detect the status and temperature of all IDE, Serial ATA, NVMe, SCSI, SAS, and most USB hard disc drives, SSD, and hybrid drives (SSHD). The hard disc status is displayed as soon as you launch the application; there is no need to analyse hard discs for an extended period of time. It displays the hard disk’s current and maximum temperatures. It reads and monitors all general and vendor-specific attributes. For advanced users, all raw data, including power-on time and the number of reading/write errors, is displayed. Hard Disk Sentinel interprets S.M.A.R.T. values related to performance and fitness and displays the calculated Performance and Health percentage, total power on time, and estimated lifetime remaining.

Hard Disk Hardware and Software Tests
It is possible to start hardware hard disc self-tests with Hard Disk Sentinel. Because built-in hardware methods are used to verify hard disc components, these tests can effectively find all hard disc problems (for example heads, servo, the internal buffer in the Short self-test). The Extended self-test also verifies the entire hard disc surface, identifies and repairs any weak spots, and re-allocates any potentially bad sectors. The software-based hard disc surface scan methods do not allow for this (for example, by using Scandisk).

Seek Noise Test
Seek Test – to verify hard disk noise, seek time performance and temperature. Longer tests can be used as very deep and intensive stress tests for the hard disk and verify if additional cooling is required.

Logging
It logs all degradations in all SMART parameters and issues alerts in such cases to maximize data protection. For example, if a new bad sector is found on your hard disk, you will be notified.

Alerts
This software has a wide range of alerts for different problems. It can send e-mail (with e-mail->SMS gateway it can be SMS warning to your mobile), network message, can play sound alerts and so. There is an option to send daily emails about the current status.

Shutdown
It offers the option to shut down the computer on hard disk failure, HDD overheats, or health degradation. This option can be used in combination with the alerts to prevent further data loss.

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.

Information on demand
Current hard disc temperatures and health are shown in the system tray and can also be seen in a small status window, on the desktop, or in a sidebar gadget (under Windows Vista or newer operating system). All hard discs’ average and maximum temperatures are recorded, and this data is graphed for statistical purposes.

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 disk and type and usage information about them so you cannot run out of space. Hard Disk Sentinel sends this information automatically in alert/status messages.

Acoustic Management
The offers option to control the acoustic level of the IDE/S-ATA hard disk. It is possible to increase performance or make the hard disk drive more silent.

Clock Synchronization
It offers the option to synchronize the PC clock with an atomic clock via NTP (Network Time Protocol).

The ‘Temperature’ section shows the current temperatures for the selected drive, as well as the average and maximum temperatures for the day. It also displays three different graphs with the current, daily average, and daily maximum temperatures. Disk performance is the most useful section because it displays details such as total data read and write, current, average, and maximum transfer rate, as well as the estimated maximum transfer rate and average disc activity.

Hard Disk Sentinel includes a comprehensive settings menu where you can customise hotkeys, disc control, message settings, alerts, and even the appearance of the hard disc temperature icon in the System Tray. There are several tests available, including Random Seek Test and Surface Test, and it’s best to close all other applications before entering to get the most accurate results.
