Syvir HDD Diagnostics

Syvir HDD Diagnostics is a hardware diagnostics and health monitoring application that targets storage drives of a computer. Ensuring support for RAID hard drives and network drives alike, this application promises to provide clues of a failing storage device to prevent accidental data loss.

The interface layout provides quick access to all the options and controls via the main toolbar. You can browse all the sensors and check the diagnostics results easily, as all the information you need is one click away.

On the other hand, the secondary windows of Syvir HDD Diagnostics create the sensation of an unfinished look, and so do the tables and the draggable bars in the main window. Despite its accessible set of options, it is obvious that the interface requires a lot more work.

Relying on two WMI sensors, Syvir HDD Diagnostics scans the hard disks of your computer as soon as you launch it, displaying a list of all the hard disks and their corresponding logical drives. Should errors be found during scanning, the application shows a message, the error code, and its description, helping you find a solution. On the downside, there is no S.M.A.R.T. analysis available, which would provide one of the most comprehensive report on hard disk health.

For those who are curious about their computer's components, Syvir HDD Diagnostics renders a 3D sketch of the hard disk rack. You can freely move the virtual hard disk around and zoom in an out to take a closer look at each section.

Syvir HDD Diagnostics provides a way to assess the health status of your hard disks, but its functionality is poor when compared with other similar diagnostics applications. Moreover, its raw interface requires further improvements to meet a decent standard.
