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."

Developer's Description: "HDDlife Notebook Edition monitors hard drive health and performance. It has been developed with the peculiarities of portable computers taken into account. Unique technologies make data information on the state of the hard drive highly precise and available at any moment. The JustNow instant measurement technology reflects the state of the hard drive as a percentage of a new drive. You can see this value right after you start the program. Another unique technology called AnywhereView makes drive performance indicators available from dialog boxes of any software application. These technologies provide clear and available information about the performance of the hard drive. When HDDlife controls the work of the hard drive, it informs you about hard drive overheating or a decrease in its performance. It regularly measures the temperature and performance of the hard drive at the specified intervals. The state of the drive is displayed in the tray as a percentage of health and performance together with its temperature. The results of each check are displayed as a brief notification. Data about available disk space is also displayed there. Additional data about the drive, such as its total working time and structure, is available in the program window. HDDlife always keeps you informed about the state of the hard drive. Besides displaying the current state of the drive, the program also gives recommendations on how to improve its work, when to back up data and prepare a replacement. In critical cases, it allows the user to automatically switch the system to the standby mode or to the power saving mode. It protects the system when it runs in the autonomous mode. When you control the system remotely, HDDlife can send messages with the results of the last check via the network or by e-mail. It will run in the background mode, regularly check the state of the hard drive and send reports to a remote computer." More info-BinarySense, Ltd.
