Portable Hard Disk Sentinel Professional

Dealing with storage devices all day long means you'll most likely need to monitor them or simply make sure that everything is functioning as it is supposed to. Thus, if you need to keep an eye on your HDD, SSD, or any other type of storage device, Portable Hard Disk Sentinel Professional can help you quickly and without having to be installed on your machine in the first place.

The idea is quite simple. You launch the application, and it detects all compatible storage devices for monitoring purposes.

It can tell users simplified information such as the current temperature, the maximum registered during a period, and show a daily average graph, all while also telling you the percentage of space left empty and approximating the health of your drive using percentages.

With this in mind, you can always make sure your machine is working as it should and ensure that any added HDD or SSD does not run the risk of malfunctioning. I found this program to be truly helpful, and I honestly see it working in plenty of other scenarios too.

As I started to further browse the options offered by this program, I found out that it also includes S.M.A.R.T monitoring features, detailing the number of bad sectors, how many were replaced, and even more information on the general health of your device.

Disk performance is there to help asses read/write functions and their efficiency levels. A log is also kept for situations where you want to trace back what might have been done wrong. Lastly, any alerts are stored and shown by the app as a warning you should keep in mind.

Portable Hard Disk Sentinel Professional is a helpful application that becomes even more efficient in its portable form, regardless of how often you deal with HDDs or SSDs.
