Disk Sentinel Professional (HDSentinel) is a HDD/SSD monitoring and analysis application. Its goal is to find, test, diagnose and repair disk drive problems, report and display SSD and HDD health, performance degradations and failures. Hard Disk Sentinel gives complete textual description, tips and displays/reports the most comprehensive information about the hard disks and solid state disks inside the computer or in external enclosures (USB / e-SATA). Many different alerts and report options are available to ensure maximum safety of your valuable data.

The software monitors hard disk drive / HDD status, including health, temperature and all S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, built in most hard disks and solid state disks today) values for each disks. Also it measures the disk transfer speed in real time which can be used as a benchmark or to detect possible hard disk failures, performance degradations.

Quote from a review where Hard Disk Sentinel received Editor's choice award:

 

"The price of one 1.000 GB HDD 130 USD
The price of your work saved files - hundreds or, maybe, thousands of hours
A solution to guard all this stuff : PRICELESS

This is the way I would describe Hard Disk Sentinel after some days of intensive testing.

Capable of monitoring fixed or portable hard disk drives ( USB ), Hard Disk Sentinel tests, finds and repairs errors and failures that might appear. It is the perfect data protection solution that complete its tasks in real time..."

  



 

HDSentinel is the perfect data protection solution: it can be effectively used to prevent HDD failure and SSD / HDD data loss because it has the most sensitive disk health rating system which is extremely sensitive to disk problems. This way even a small HDD problem can't be missed. The Professional version has scheduled and automatic (on-problem) disk backup options to prevent data loss caused by not only failure but by malware or accidental delete also.

System Requirements

  • Pentium or compatible CPU

  • 32 megabytes of system memory

  • 15 megabytes of hard disk space

  • Windows operating system (Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, 2008, Vista, Windows 7, Windows Home Server) both 32 and 64 bit versions

  • System administrator account (in service mode, it is possible to use without administrator rights and without even user logged in)

  • One or more hard disk or solid state disk with ATA (IDE or Serial ATA/SATA II), SCSI, SAS, USB interface.
    USB hard disk support depends on the USB-ATA bridge chips.
    Other type of external disks (USB or IEEE 1394) are NOT supported because the hard disk controller chip in the external enclosure does not support the detection of S.M.A.R.T. information.

Note: RAID arrays usually do not provide S.M.A.R.T. informations. However, standalone hard disks connected to standard RAID controllers (for example motherboard integrated RAID controllers, like NVidia, Intel RAID) provide this information most of the time. If you have good or bad experiences or compatibility problems, please let us know.

Note: The software can read and display all such information about hard disks inside the arrays if the RAID array is controlled by a compatible RAID controller card. It is also possible to manage these drives like standalone drives.

Note: hard disk controller drivers can also cause incompatibility problems and this case not all hard disk information may be displayed. For more information, please check the compatibility page and for some solutions, please read the information in the F.A.Q.



Note : You will get CD and key .  Resold under permission.
