Hard Disk Sentinel is a multi-OS hard disk drive monitoring application.
Its goal is to find, test, diagnose and repair hard disk drive
problems, display hard disk health, performance degradations and
failures. Hard Disk Sentinel gives complete textual description, tips
and displays/reports the most comprehensive information about the HDD
inside the computer or in an external enclosure (USB / e-SATA). Many
different alerts and report options are available to ensure maximum
safety of your valuable data.
Hard Disk Sentinel monitors hard disk status, including health,
temperature and all 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 effectively used to
prevent serious damage or data loss because it has the most sensitive
hard disk health rating system which is extremely sensitive to disk
problems. This way even a small problem can't be missed and a failure or
data loss can be predicted. This gives opportunity to backup important
and valuable data. The Professional version has scheduled and automatic
(on-problem) backup options to prevent data loss caused by not only
failure but by malware or accidental delete also.
