CrystalDiskInfo

An information application to monitor the status of HDDs and certain other media that are connected to Windows. The program monitors and stores information about the current state of hard drives. During the operation of the CrystalDiskInfo, detailed information about the status of "hard drives" (HDD) is displayed, and their operation and temperature are monitored. The CrystalDiskInfo application uses the data from the built-in S.M.A.R.T. function to work. (Self-monitoring, analysis and reporting technology) This technology is a built-in BIOS function by default for each motherboard of a personal computer. S.M.A.R.T. can be disabled from the BIOS interface if desired.

The program displays detailed information about the state of the hard drives, as well as data such as the serial number of the hard drive, its standard and interface, the total time of accounting (read from S.M.A.R.T.), the file system, the number of areas, etc. In addition, CrystalDiskInfo keeps track of the performance of the hard drives and provides real-time reporting of drive read errors, current performance of each connected device, on/off cycles, and many other features. In addition, the program implements functions of hard disk management, such as APM and AAM. (Advanced Power Management is a tool for configuring the power consumption of the device. The APM function determines the power status of the system and of each individual device (in this case the hard disk drive) and defines the power consumption parameters. Automatic Acoustic Management is a disabled function of hard disks by default, which allows you to reduce disk noise by reducing the speed of disk operation. This function is available for all modern ATA hard drives.

'CrystalDiskInfo' provides detailed real-time monitoring and reporting on hard drive health and performance.
