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 (HDSentinel) is a multi-OS SSD and HDD monitoring and analysis software. More information on the proper use of the TRM can be found on the Hard Disk Sentinel also offers to turn off the computer if there is a hard disk malfunction, overheating or status deterioration.Technologies must be operated and maintained in accordance with Federal and Department security and

The software warns a user of the detection of any discrepancies in the work of the disk by a sound notification, emails or implementation of the predetermined algorithm of actions. Hard Disk Sentinel detects a temperature problem, deterioration level, free disk space and offers to solve the problems. The program tests the hardware and software parts of the hard disk for errors or other problems. Hard Disk Sentinel supports a special technology that analyses the disk status, displays a comprehensive assessment of its characteristics and predicts the estimated time of the disk failure. The software is able to check the status of most of the hard disk types, regardless of the connection type including DE, USB, ATA, SATA, etc. Hard Disk Sentinel – a software to diagnose, monitor and analyze the hard disk and SSD.
