Hard Disk Sentinel Professional (HDSentinel) is a hard disk monitoring software with support of HDD/SSD drives. Its goal is to find, test, diagnose and repair hard 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.
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 hard disk health rating system which is extremely sensitive to hard disk problems. This way even a small HDD problem can't be missed. The Professional version has scheduled and automatic (on-problem) hard disk backup options to prevent data loss caused by not only failure but by malware or accidental delete also.
Hard Disk Sentinel software system requirements
- Hardware Requirements
- Pentium or compatible CPU
- 32 megabytes of system memory
- 15 megabytes of hard disk space
- One or more hard disk or solid state disk with ATA (IDE or Serial ATA/SATA II), SCSI, SAS, USB interface.
- See Hardware compatibility pages for supported hard disk
drives, SSD models, disk controllers and external hard disks /
enclosures / adapters.
- Other type of external disks (IEEE 1394 or used in NAS enclosures and connected via Ethernet) are NOT supported because the hard disk controller chip in the external enclosure does not support the detection of hard disk status (S.M.A.R.T.) information.
- Pentium or compatible CPU
- Software Requirements
- Windows operating system (Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT4, 2000,
XP, 2003, 2008, Vista, Windows 7, Windows Home Server, Windows 8) 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)
- Windows operating system (Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT4, 2000,
XP, 2003, 2008, Vista, Windows 7, Windows Home Server, Windows 8) both
32 and 64 bit versions
Hard Disk Sentinel 4.40 (11/7/2013)
Improvements and new features:
• displaying health (actual and original) during Disk -> Surface test functions
• improved display of S.M.A.R.T. attribute changes: automatically showing more dates based on screen resolution
• double click on S.M.A.R.T. attribute graphs to toggle showing all measured values
• right click on S.M.A.R.T. attribute graph to export all displayed values
• improved hardware self tests (Short self test, Extended self test) on various internal and external drives (previously reported "Interrupted with hardware/software reset" caused by special power management implementations)
• improved report of hard disk status and attributes for SCSI / SAS hard disks
• improved re-adjust Automatic Acoustic Management / Advanced Power Management levels on startup when required
• improved "sending files in e-mail" project
• Windows 8.1 (preview) OS support
• log data communication errors
• added Slovak language support (thanks to Lukas Surin for translation)
Improved hardware support:
• added support of Seagate External hard disks, newer Seagate USB hard disks, FreeCom external hard disks
• added support of Adaptec 7xxx series RAID controllers in RAID mode: detection of complete hard disk status when SATA or SAS hard disks configured as RAID arrays.
• added support of Adaptec 2200S, 2120S, 2130S, 2230S SCSI controllers in RAID mode: detection of complete hard disk status when SCSI hard disks configured as RAID arrays.
• added support of PROMISE SuperTrak RAID controllers in RAID mode: detection of complete hard disk status when SATA hard disks configured as RAID arrays.
• added support of PROMISE FastTrak RAID controllers in RAID mode: detection of hard disks in the arrays and their general S.M.A.R.T. status
• added support of PROMISE enclosure information: displaying fan speed, temperature and voltage provided by the Promise enclosure
• added support of IBM M1115, SuperMicro SMC2108 RAID controller: detection of complete hard disk status when SATA hard disks configured as RAID arrays.
• added support of HighPoint RS5122B USB docking station
• added support of HighPoint Datacenter DC7280 controller
• general improvements for external USB 3.0 multi-drive enclosures
• improved support for Win XP 64 bit & different RAID controllers (Gigabyte, VIA, JMicron, etc.)
• improved support of JMicron USB 3.0 / eSATA RAID enclosures
• improved support of LSI, Intel SAS/SATA RAID controllers, displaying hot spare and unconfigured drive(s)
• improved support of HighPoint, Areca, LSI RAID controllers
• improved support of various hard disks (high capacity, 2-3-4 TB models) and newer SSD models (ADATA, OCZ, Samsung, Plextor, etc)
• improved compatibility for various card readers, pendrives
• improved detection of standalone (non-RAID) hard disks with HighPoint and Areca controllers
• improved support and compatibility for newer Intel RST drivers (12.x versions)
Bug fixes, further modifications:
• fixed: service mode startup problems on some non-English Windows systems
• fixed: previous versions may displayed error at startup if WMI libraries damaged / corrupted
• fixed: webStatus displayed partial information if Intel SSD used in the system
• fixed: disk-specific settings were not saved for some Intel SSD models
• fixed: startup may failed when Acronis software used to split 2+ TB hard disks
• fixed: Portable version startup after uninstallation of license from the actual system
• fixed: custom icon set setting may reset after standby
