Program description
-------------------
Hard Drive Inspector is the most powerful, convenient and effective program
based on the S.M.A.R.T. technology to control the state of your
hard disk drives.
Most computer users agree that their data is the most valuable element
of their computer system. Through the S.M.A.R.T. System, Hard Drive Inspector
allows you to predict a possible failure of the hdd before it occurs.
As the access to electronic information becomes more and more vital
in business and at home, Hard Drive Inspector allows you to reach beyond
the traditional boundaries of hddÆs reliability and extend their protection
of valuable user data to new and more sophisticated levels.
Hard Drive Inspector has a flexible option system, which allows you
to customize the functioning of this utility as you want.
Hard Drive Inspector has an easy-to-use, nice-looking interface.
It also offers many useful features, which makes the S.M.A.R.T. monitoring
process full-scale and easy:
- Ability to operate with more than one hdd : up to 32.
- Shows all necessary S.M.A.R.T. information including the current,
threshold, worst and raw values.
- Displays a versatile info about a hdd such as capacity, number of
cylinders, heads, sectors, buffer size, etc.

- Permits you to monitor the temperature of the hdds if they have
the thermal sensors.
