Hard Drive Inspector Professional 4.33

Your disk is arguably the most important component of your computer after your motherboard and CPU. If it crashes or somehow dies, you risk losing all your data. All those programs you installed, all the excel sheets you have for work, all your save files for your games. A crash is rarely instantaneous when it comes to your disk drives, though. With the proper tools, you can see problems in them long before it becomes critical and you can help keep them stable. Hard Drive Inspector Professional does exactly that, giving you constantly up to date information about your disk drives.

Hard Drive Inspector comes with a very easy to use interface. The instant you boot it up, you're treated to a health summary about your drives. You'll instantly know if there are any critical errors with your disk drives. In my case, my disks were in fantastic health, and the temperature was in an acceptable range. This is updated in real time, something most similar freeware programs can't say they do. On top of that, the program can adjust the noise of the drives, although drive performance may suffer. A simple volume slider in options does it for you quickly, though it isn't available in the free version.

One bad thing about Hard Drive Inspector is that while it keeps you updated and helps prevent disk failures, it also doesn't have any backup capabilities. Backing up is generally considered to be more reliable than simply fixing your disks constantly. Overall, it's a very solid program, though it isn't completely free and one might find freeware alternatives to be sufficient.
