Drive Health is a Windows program that helps you to estimate your hard disks Life Resource. This tool allows you to predict possible HDD failure and prevent losing the critical data. To estimate hard disk life our program uses special S.M.A.R.T. technology that is supported by the most of hard disk manufacturers. By implementing this technology the Drive Health provides access to the hard disk drives reliability monitoring, and keeps you informed about any potentially dangerous degradations of performance or reliability of your HDDs. The monitoring program eats minimum CPU and memory resources and can be run as a NT service. More info-Helexis Software Development

Developer's Description: "Hard Disk Sentinel offers advanced data protection solution by monitoring status of hard disks and solid state disks and provides detailed disk information, statistics, alerts and backup functions. Hard Disk Sentinel points on present or future disk problems like excessive temperature or degradation of disk health, which are signs of imminent hardware failure. It offers deep disk tests to verify hard disk noise, performance and temperature changes. Long and extensive disk tests point on stability issues and high disk temperatures which requires additional cooling. Disk information in RAID arrays connected to 3ware/AMCC and ARECA RAID controllers and solid state disk features are also detected. Hard Disk Sentinel is unique in its support of a great number of both internal IDE/SATA/SCSI/SAS and external USB/Firewire/e-Sata hard disks and hard disk enclosures (see website Hardware section for details). Hard Disk Sentinel warns about possible temperature and hardware problems and allows the user to take necessary actions. The PRO version has scheduled backup features to prevent data loss caused by not only disk failures but other kind of disasters (accidental delete or malware). The Enterprise server solution allows monitoring and managing disk information of remote hosts from a centralized administration console. We all have read or heard disaster stories related to the failure of hard disks. Now it is possible to take preventive action. Key features: Automatic monitoring and analysis of hard disks Comprehensive hard disk details Logging and graphs of previous details (temperature, health, etc.) Different alerts for possible events Registration unlocks all features: Alerts (pop-ups, sound, e-mail, etc) Disk tests to ensure maximum stability Scheduled and automatic backup functions (PRO version) Remote monitoring, advanced control features Free life-of-product technical support and help Lifetime License - no update or subscription costs." New in this release: Detection of hard disk information connected to LSI, DELL, NVIDIA nForce RAID controllers, supporting USB 3.0 and SATA 6 Gb/s devices, improved SSD support and details..
