HDD Health
by PANTERASoft
Allows for checking harddrives health
HDD Health is a program that can monitor the status of your hard drive and alert you to potential problems with your hard drive. HDD Health uses S.M.A.R.T. technology built into most of today's hard drives and consumes virtually no system resources. The program tracks some critical parameters diagnosed by the S.M.A.R.T. hard drive and shows the level of "viability" of the disk, as well as other technical information (disk manufacturer, its capacity, serial number, available partitions, their file systems, etc.). In case of detection of critical changes in the state of the hard disk, the program can sound an alarm, show a warning window, as well as send messages over the network and e-mail. Autorun supported.
One main benefit of using HDD Health software is its ability to provide early warnings of potential hard drive problems, helping avoid data loss.
