Personal SmartCheck 4.0 uses
S.M.A.R.T. technology to monitor
hard drives internal
S.M.A.R.T. attributes, predict possible
drive failure and prevent data loss. Using predictions settings, Personal SmartCheck lets you know about a potential
disk health problem before you lose valuable data.
With Personal SmartCheck you will have the most recent information about the
health of all
hard drives on your computer. Prediction of the nearest T.E.C. of any
hard drive can prevent valuable data loss by replacing dangerous drives and backing up all data.
For example, motor and/or bearing failure can be predicted by an increase in the
drive spin-up time and the number of retries it takes to succeed in spinning up the drive. Or, if the
drive notes that the error correction is being used excessively, it can attribute this to a broken
drive head or contamination, and alert you before the problem gets worse. Armed with a failure prediction, the user or system manager can back up key data, replace a suspect device prior to data loss, or avoid undesired downtime.
S.M.A.R.T. monitors the disks performance, bad sectors, calibration, CRC errors,
disk spin up time, distance between the head and the disk, temperature, features of medium, heads, motor or servo-mechanism. In all, over 30 attributes are covered by
S.M.A.R.T. The errors that the system can detect can be predicted by a number of methods. Currently the SMART system can detect around 70% of all
hard drive errors.
Personal SmartCheck shows the icon with the
temperature value of the most hot
hard drive in the system tray. You can point this icon by the mouse and PSC will show a hint with temperatures of all
hard drives.
Personal SmartCheck notifies you when the
temperature of the
hard drive exceeds the threshold by the balloon hint or WinPopup.
