Hard Disk Sentinel is a utility for monitoring and controlling the health of hard drives. Allows you to identify potential problems, performance degradation, and possible failures. Can alert the user if a problem is detected or if the temperature is exceeded. Its capabilities will obviously not seem superfluous, especially in the case of the special value of the stored data with an increase in the volume of drives. The program monitors the status of hard drives, including temperature readings and SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, a technology built into most modern drives) for each hard drive.
Works in the background and constantly analyzes the situation. In case of detection of an error or exceeding the threshold of certain parameters specified by the user, it will display a warning. In most cases, it is SMART technology that comes to the rescue, as this is one of the fastest and easiest ways to track changes in especially important or critical parameters of drives.
As the size of hard drives is constantly increasing, the data stored on them is becoming more and more valuable for the computer user (especially for a company or office). In this case, serious problems may occur after a hard drive failure. Hard Disk Manager can monitor the health of hard drives, including temperature and SMART (self-checking, analysis and alert technology built into most modern hard drives) of each drive. The program also measures the data transfer speed of the hard drive in real time, which can be used as a benchmark or to detect a possible hard drive failure, deterioration of its performance.
Hard Disk Sentinel can be used to prevent serious damage or data loss. The program warns the user if there is a problem before it happens and gives the opportunity to backup important and valuable data. Hard Disk Sentinel runs in the background and constantly analyzes the health of your hard drive. If there is an error or unexpected behavior, the program alerts the user to the current state. Normally, the condition of the hard drive may slowly deteriorate from day to day. SMART technology helps predict possible failure by monitoring drive critical values. The program also displays the current hard drive temperature and remembers previous temperatures, which can be used to check the maximum temperature when the hard drive is under heavy load.
Features of the program:
• Works with drives via IDE, Serial ATA and SCSI interfaces, determines the status and temperature in real mode; indications are displayed instantly, there is no need to carry out lengthy diagnostics; displays the current and minimum temperature of drives, specific attributes depending on the manufacturer; advanced users will benefit from the hours of operation and the number of read / write errors; interprets performance and SMART status values as a percentage for easier understanding;
• With the help of special icons on disks in the system, the main values of the status and used space are displayed, thus simplifying 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 desired, you can view detailed information about the status of all hard drives in a special window or a small window and a complete graph of temperature changes since the start of using the program;
• 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; the current and maximum possible data transfer mode are displayed;
• The program counts the total amount of data that has been copied or written to disk, displays the current read / write speed and processor load;
• Displays information on all partitions in the system, regardless of the number of drives; this data is then used for automatic warning and status display.
In addition, a large number of additional options are available for personalization, advanced alert management, logging of collected data, system time synchronization via the Internet, automatic shutdown and acoustic mode control (if the drives support this function).
