Update Hard Disk Sentinel
#1
[Image: hdsentinel-main-window.png]

Hard Disk Sentinel Professional (HDSentinel) is a hard disk monitoring software with highest possible support of HDD/SSD/SSHD (hybrid) 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, 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 degradations.

New Hard Disk Sentinel version 5.01 released and available for download.

Now with 5th generation of Hard Disk Sentinel, it is possible to not only detect status of hard disks, SSDs, hybrid drives and drives with internal or external RAID controllers / enclosures, but also possible to determine status of additional NVMe SSDs, industrial (micro) SD cards, SATADOM devices and tape drives too!


The new version has numerous new functions for example the Disk repair test which performs easier and faster repairing of weak sectors. Multiple disk testing is possible with some clicks - and version 5 has new integration / alert functions too (providing status by WMI, using Windows event log, perform detection based on the actual disk utilization just to name some of the new options).

It is possible to update with the automatic update from the File menu or by downloading and installing the new version to the same folder where the previous one installed (no uninstallation required, just close the running Hard Disk Sentnel version completely by File -> Exit before installation).


If you have successfully registered and activated any previous version, the updated version will be also registered and activated.
If you plan to download manually, please make sure you download the correct version you already have installed (standard or PRO).
