Hard Disk Sentinel Professional is a hard disk monitoring software with highest possible support of HDD/SSD/SSHD drives. Its goal is to find, test, diagnose and repair hard disk drive problems, report and display SSD and HDD health, performance degradation 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, solid state disks and hybrid drives (SSHD) 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 degradation.

    I wouldn't call $30 for this a deal. CrystalDiskInfo, GSmartControl, etc., are free and work just as well.

    • guidedlight on 10/05/2018 - 22:25

      They all read the S.M.A.R.T. data from the disk, no more magic than that.

      • elusive on 10/05/2018 - 22:29

        And this product claims more "magic"?

        • Rajserp on 11/05/2018 - 08:13

          This product can test each sector and find any issues on the HDD so you know to keep it or bin it.

        • elusive on 11/05/2018 - 09:31

          @Presjar: That can be done with a standard S.M.A.R.T. self-test, which you can easily trigger in GSmartControl.

        • eug on 11/05/2018 - 09:32

          @elusive: With this, you don't have to trigger anything. It'll send you an email when something is amiss.

        • elusive on 11/05/2018 - 09:34

          @eug: Fair enough.

      • eug on 10/05/2018 - 23:27

        Do the others send email notifications as well?

      As someone who uses this every day, no way. This does a lot more. It interprets manufacturer SMART information a lot more elegantly than CrystalDiskInfo. There are also a bunch of surface scanning tools which are extremely useful. For example, if you have a failing hard drive, you can sometimes bring it back from the dead long enough to do a direct clone using the "disk repair" tool which recursively reads over bad sectors over and over until it can read and move the data to a more reliable sector. There's also a disk re-initialisation tool which will securely erase any drive, and simultaneously test the entire disk for read/write issues, with a detailed graph as to what sectors perform poorly. Weak sectors then get forcibly reallocated. It's saved many drives from the dead and made many of my data recovery efforts much easier.

    HD Sentinel is probably the only one which can show you all details including SMART even of HDDs hooked up via RAID cards.

  • rogerm22 on 11/05/2018 - 11:46

    I purchased a Pro license some time ago. While there are any number of programs which display SMART information. Hard Disk Sentinel, is the only one that gives a fairly detailed explanation of the condition of the drive, which will tell you if the issues are only minor, so you can keep using the drive, or critical, meaning that drive needs to be replaced. In my opinion, this makes it far superior than any of the alternatives and well worth paying for.
