Hard Drive Monitoring Software

Stellar Smart is acts as an “Early Warning System” for forthcoming hard drive problems and provides current statistics of several hard drive parameters like hard drive temperature, spin-up time, head flying height, etc. Below listed are the important key features:

 

• Runs constantly in the background, thereby providing real-time information about the condition of the hard drive / disk(s)
• Provides standard hard disk information such as Serial/Model Number, Number of cylinders, and so on
• Provides information on various hard disk attributes and also displays their fitness level
• Able to scan and display bad sectors on hard disk(s)
• Scheduler to configure software parameters such as Temperature Warning, Temperature Update, and Log Scheduling
• Maintains log reports of disk scans, disk status and so on
• Can clone hard disks (that is, it can paste the contents of a potentially fatal disk onto a healthy disk)
• Provides graphical comparison of temperature fluctuations in relation to warning / shutdown levels
• Displays real time 'Benchmark' graph showing the Hard Disk data transfer rate and CPU usage
• Can test any IDE/SATA disk
• Simple and easy to use, with no loss in system performance
• Offers graphical comparison of temperature in relation to warning/ shutdown levels
• Compatible with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003.

 

Stellar Smart v2.2.1 application acknowledges the forthcoming hard drive issues. The hard drive controllers monitor varied aspects of the hard drive performance. This is done with the help of sensors that help the integrated hard drive controllers to monitor the status of the hard drive and determine whether the hard drive is working properly or not.

 

Stellar Smart v2.2.1 includes various features that cover different aspects for effective Hard Drive Health Check. These are S.M.A.R.T status, Disk Info., Temperature, Settings, Benchmark, Scheduler, Scan HDD, Clone HDD, Log Report.

 

S.M.A.R.T. Status : This feature monitors the current health status and performance level of the hard drive.

 

Disk Info : This feature specifies the Hard disk information including hard disk version, S.M.A.R.T feature, Model No., Serial No., and Firmware revision. It also displays advanced information like total sectors, number of cylinders, number of heads, total sectors per track, disk size, and physical buffers size.

 

Temperature : This feature displays three types of temperature information :

 

• Current temperature
• Warning temperature
• Shutdown temperature

 

Settings : This enables you to set or modify the temperature and notification settings.

 

Temperature settings: You can chose between the two units of temperature viz, Celsius or Fahrenheit. Also, you can set the warning and shutdown temperature.

 

Notification settings : You can set your priorities in regard of the notifications you want to receive when the software determines any error in the hard drive. You can also make settings to receive automatic notification alerts via e-mails to your account whenever the software finds your system under threat.

 

Benchmark: This reflects the transfer rate and CPU usage.

 

Scheduler : This further includes two aspects:

 

• Time Scheduling : This allows you to set a prescribed time limit.....
• Log Scheduling : With log scheduling, you can opt for creating a log history and set the number of log files you want to create.

 

Scan HDD : As the name explains suggests, this feature allows you to scan the hard drive and determine the bad blocks.

 

Clone HDD : You can use this feature to make a clone of your hard disk onto another disk.

 

Log Report : All the log reports created are displayed in this feature. You also get the option to open, reset or clear log.
