An effective utility used to monitor the health of your hard drive

It's Cristaldisk info. A utility open source portable (without prior installation). It gives you all the info like:

• The temperature of your hard drive
• the firmware,
• the duration of use
• the rate of access to head fault
• the number of re-allocated sector
• Error in reading rate

With a clear status indicator, it is very useful to prevent any failure and take its provisions on time (backup on a different hard disk before the complete dysfunction of the hard drive).

It is just a pity that there is no automatic alerts of significant change in the State.
