monitor hard drive health and performance

Our Rating: (Very Good!)

Hard Disk Sentinel Professional automatically monitors your hard disk status, health and performance, including temperature and S.M.A.R.T. values for each of your hard drives. Using this data it can predict possible disk failures and alert you of these conditions before they can become a serious problem. You can configure email and sound alerts as well as automatic system shutdown when certain criteria are met. The program can even perform automatic file backups, copying your important data to a different drive if a problem is found. In addition to monitoring and alerting, the program also keeps an eye on your disk performance with real-time disk usage and transfer speed graphs. Other features include daily status reports, disk space monitoring, integrated backup with CD/DVD burning, run as service option and more. Hard Disk Sentinel Professional supports IDE, SATA and SCSI drives.
