CrystalDiskInfo is a HDD/SSD utility software which supports S.M.A.R.T.

HD Tune is a Hard Disk utility which has the following functions:-Benchmark: measures the performance,-Info: shows detailed information,-Health: checks the health status by using SMART,-Error Scan: scans the surface for errors,-Temperature display,HD Tune may also work with other storage devices such as memory cards, USB sticks, iPods, etc.

Monitoring hard disk health and temperature. Test and repair HDD problems and predict failures. Prevent data loss by automatic and scheduled backup.

HDDScan is a freeware utility for storage devices diagnostics (HDD, RAID, Flash). The program can scan storage device for bad blocks, show S.M.A.R.T. attributes and change some HDD parameters such as AAM, APM, etc.

MHDD is the most popular freeware program for low-level HDD diagnostics.

Free, downloadable software application developed by Acronis to monitor server, workstation and PC hard disk drives. Early warning to save your data

StableBit Scanner is a state of the art disk health monitoring tool.- Monitors the SMART data of your disks, and presents them in an easy to read, meaningful way.- Lists detailed information about your disk, including the connection type, bus speed, and supported features.- Performs a surface scan of the disks to ensure that every sector of the disk is readable, once a month.- Can recover "damaged" files that are located where there is damage to the disk. - Performs a file system check, to make sure they are healthy.- Notifies you of any issues via email, sms, NotifyMyAndroid, PushOver and many other notification systems.- Includes a number of useful metrics, such as disk performance and disk queue length.- Includes diagnostic abilities, such as the "Burst test" which is great for detecting problems with data cables or controllers.- Integrates with StableBit DrivePool (shows disk information in DrivePool's UI, and evacuates damaged disks to help prevent data loss). »

PassMark DiskCheckup allows the user to monitor the SMART attributes of a particular hard disk drive. SMART (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a feature on a computer's hard disk for providing various monitoring indicators of disk reliability. If SMART is enabled on a hard disk, the system administrator can receive analytical information from the hard drive to determine a possible future failure of the hard drive.

Hard Drive Inspector is a powerful, effective and easy-to-use program that monitors hard drive health. In many cases it is able to warn the user about forthcoming disk failure in advance, thus preventing information loss.

Modern hard drives are much more reliable than the disks of yesterday. However, they still are extremely complex electronic devices with moving parts that are subject to amortization. The high density of data storage provided by the modern disks allows for greater storage capacities and higher access speeds. However, with densities and capacities pushed to the extreme you have much more to lose should the drive fail. The hard drive is the most important component in your entire PC because it holds all that is of real value: your documents, digital pictures, email messages, your work and private data. »

HDD Health is a full-featured failure-prediction agent for machines using Windows 95, 98, NT, Me, 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7. Sitting in the system tray, it monitors hard disks and alerts you to impending failure. The program uses Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) built into all new hard disks, and can predict failures on your hard drives. A host of alerting features include email, local pop-up messages, net messages, and event logging, while using no system resources.

Active@ Hard Disk Monitor is a disk utility that checks and monitors the status of your hard drives to help prevent data loss. The system is based on the Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.).

SMARTReporter is an application that can warn you of some hard disk drive failures before they actually happen! It does so by periodically polling the built-in S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard disk drives as well as performing other checks for "I/O errors" or R.A.I.D "degradation". The current status of your hard disk drives is always easily recognizable because SMARTReporter changes its icon (optionally in the menubar) from green to red if a problem occurs.

SMART Utility is an application to scan the internal hardware diagnostics system of hard drives. SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) is a system built into hard drives by their manufacturers to report on various measurements (called attributes) of a hard drives operation. The attributes can be used to detect when a hard drive is having mechanical or electrical problems, and can indicate when the hard drive is failing. SMART Utility can read and display these attributes. This allows time to hopefully backup, and then replace the drive. SMART Utility also allows running a drives built in self test, which can also indicate malfunctions on the drive. »
