Visit Hard Disk Sentinel

Hard Disk Sentinel is a multi-OS SSD and HDD monitoring and analysis application that finds, tests, diagnoses and repairs disk problems, and reports health, performance degradations and failures. It runs in the background, inspects S.M.A.R.T. status, and warns the user when an error or unexpected behaviour is detected, with options for alerts and reports. It covers internal and external drives, hybrid drives, NVMe SSDs, RAID arrays, NAS drives, industrial (micro) SD cards, eMMC devices and LTO tape drives in a single tool.

Capabilities include health, temperature and S.M.A.R.T. value monitoring, real-time disk transfer speed measurement for benchmarking and failure detection, and functions such as Quick Fix, Device Specific Information, Extended S.M.A.R.T. and FARM log. The Professional edition adds scheduled and automatic on-problem disk backup options. Versions are offered for Windows, DOS and Linux, alongside a trial download.
