Hard Disk Sentinel Overview
Hard Disk Sentinel is a powerful tool designed to monitor and analyze the performance of the hard drives installed in your PC. It effectively detects and diagnoses errors, offering actionable solutions to fix any problems that arise. Additionally, it generates comprehensive reports detailing the status of your disks, including temperature, speed, vibrations, and more.
The application provides a full text description, tips, and detailed reports about your hard drives, whether they are internal or in an external enclosure (USB/e-SATA). It also includes various options to ensure maximum data security.
Key Features of Hard Disk Sentinel Professional
Comprehensive Information Display : All crucial data is shown in the main application window, with quick commands for easy navigation across hard drives, partitions, and other details. The user interface is intuitive, using green, yellow, and red indicators to reflect the severity of any issues. A detailed text description and contextual help guide the user through the various features and options.
Simple Setup and Configuration : After installing and configuring alerts and backup options, your system is protected. You'll be notified of any problems, but if everything is functioning correctly, Hard Disk Sentinel runs quietly in the background, monitoring the system's status around the clock.
Instant SMART Analysis : Hard Disk Sentinel can communicate with IDE, Serial ATA, and SCSI drives to quickly detect their status and temperature. Disk status is available immediately upon launching the application, with no need for lengthy analysis. The software displays both the current and maximum temperature of your hard drives.
Advanced Monitoring : The program reads all general and vendor-specific attributes and monitors their values. For advanced users, raw data is also displayed, including power-on hours and read/write errors. Hard Disk Sentinel interprets these SMART values to display calculated performance and health percentages, total power-on time, and estimated remaining lifespan.
Disk Status in Windows Explorer : The software displays the current health status and used space directly in Windows Explorer, ensuring you're always aware of your partitions' status and available space.
On-Demand Information : Hard Disk Sentinel can display real-time hard drive temperatures and health status in the system tray, a small status window, or on the desktop. It records average and maximum temperatures, displaying this data in graphs for statistical analysis.
Logging : The program logs all changes in SMART parameters. If a new uncorrectable sector is detected on your hard drive, you will receive an immediate notification.
Customizable Alerts : Hard Disk Sentinel can issue various types of alerts based on different issues. It can also run specific tasks or external applications when a problem is detected, with the option to send daily emails summarizing the current status.
Detailed Hard Drive Information : The software detects and displays comprehensive information about your hard drives, including revision numbers, buffer sizes, and all available features. It also shows maximum and available transfer modes.
Performance Monitoring : The program records the amount of data read from and written to the hard disk, displaying current transfer rates for both. It also estimates the maximum (theoretical) transfer rate for each hard disk.
Partition Management : Hard Disk Sentinel displays partitions for each physical hard drive, along with usage information, ensuring you never run out of space. This information is automatically included in alert and status messages.
Automated Shutdown : The software can be configured to shut down your computer in the event of a failure, overheating, or parameter degradation, helping to prevent further data loss.
Acoustic Management : Hard Disk Sentinel allows you to control the acoustic level of IDE/S-ATA hard drives, enabling you to balance performance and noise levels according to your preference.
Clock Synchronization : The program offers the option to synchronize your PC's clock with an atomic clock via NTP (Network Time Protocol).
