– ATA drive additional features and functionality supported by the hard disk drive/SSD – ATA drive temperature statistics, last known recorded temperature values
– ATA drive disk utilization and absolute limits for amount of reads/writes and temperature limits (if defined by the manufacturer) – ATA drive statistics: rotating media statistics (hard disk drives) or solid state device statistics (SSDs) – ATA drive statistics: lifetime details, errors, temperature statistics – ATA self test log: last disk self tests, self test results and details (registered version only) – ATA error log: last known errors, their description, registers, error details, last commands before error
– Sector(s) where errors happened previously and their location by block number on the disk surface map (registered version only) – Time since last error detected/logged by the hard disk/SSD (registered version only) – Power on time when last error detected/logged by the hard disk/SSD (registered version only) new function for advanced users (PRO version only): Disk menu -> Device Specific Information to detect and display additional details including:.The test forces the disk drive to repair any problematic (pending, weak) sectors: restore the status to good or reallocate (replace from spare area) if required to prevent further use of the original sector (Pro version only) Verify which area(s) of the disk drive reported problems and written recently then diagnose, repair specifically those (and nearby) sectors and critical system areas. new function: Disk menu -> Surface test -> Quick Fix (targeted repair of problematic sectors).Hard Disk Sentinel supports over 10000 different device models, hard disks, SSDs, hybrid drives, RAID controllers, internal/external enclosures and so. Using different tools for hard disks, SSDs and many other devices may require more resources and could be confusing – this is why it is better to have a single solution and a standard way to keep an eye on the disk drives storing valuable data. The goal was (instead of making separate tools for different devices) to provide one single solution with a standard environment, to allow users to diagnose, monitor, report, and repair problems with all kinds of storage devices. Hard Disk Sentinel supports not only hard disks, but numerous other devices including SSDs, flash media in general, and also provides a method to monitor Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices too. With THIS HARD DISK SOFTWARE, you’ll be able to find, test, diagnose, and even repair disk drive issues before they escalate to catastrophic status. Hard Disk Sentinel monitors and analyzes your hard disk and solid-state drives, giving you valuable feedback on the health of the drive, any performance degradations, and warning of impending failure. By using this software, it is possible to avoid serious data loss. Moreover, Hard Disk Sentinel can reveal possible problems and performance degradations and predict hard disk failures. Hard Disk Sentinel 6 is a hard disk analyzer application, created to monitor the hard disk status, temperature, and health.
