Hard Disk Monitoring

If you see the "old behaviour" then it means Hard Disk Sentinel could not use the "new" method introduced in version 5.20 According the experiences/tests during development, it could happen (for example) if there are multiple Hard Disk Sentinel versions used/installed on the sam...

Current v5.61 returned to old behaviour.. :( I can't say from which version it started again though, I just noticed, that for no reason my tray icons jumble up as in HDS icons mixes up with other program's icons (I assumed it was an update in the background), attempting move one icon moves several i...

It seems even though HDS detects individual disk in array (in LSI raid card), it's not possible test each disk individually, it only allow test entire array.

Hello. Currently the hard drive list is kind of messed up: when mouse wheel used it selects next/prev drive from the list instead of simply scroll the list, when scroll bar is dragged, it doesn't scroll anything until scroll bar is released. Would be nice if hard drive list at main window got update...

Hello.
It would be useful have date and time shown in the warning popups.

Just got home to find a temperature warning and when checked history nothing even close shown there, because it only shows last 4 hours. So it could be 5 hours ago or 5 days ago...

Thanks.

We've been communicating via email regarding this issue and I've been offered test a beta version hdsentinel_pro_setup_50113-trdds.zip which 100% fixed this issue for me. It's been 6 months since I've been using it and not a single issue with tray icons, they always stay at the same order and each i...

I'm confused about HDSentinel version numbering. The common version numbering is: <major>.<minor>.<build> HDSentinel seems to use this format too, but when you look in about dialog it also shows a number in parenthesis, which in my mind would represent built number. However that number doesn't chang...

Hello. I set to send email as detailed HTML report, checked all the available checkboxes. When one of my hard drives started overheating, it sent me email alert with headline "Hard Disk Sentinel: Overheat (TEST COMPUTER) [79 %]" Cool. But in that email there is so much information about 15...

Hello. Currently when beta version installed, it only notify when new stable version released. Since beta versions could potentially be unstable it should check for new beta versions and encourage users to update. Also, it would be nice have an option to check for beta versions withing config itself...

I cannot believe you are not able reproduce this. If it reproducible on virtual computer, it should be reproducible on any computer running a virtual system. I've tested it on VMWare and VirtualBox, with 6 virtual hard drives, running Windows 7 and 10 as guest OS, everything default, downloaded HD S...

Any updates on this issue? Hard Disk Sentinel designed to always maintain all of its icons together. So it always show / hide all icons together, exactly to keep them together and to be displayed in the proper order. Please let us - the users, make decision on which icon we want to be always visible...

Do you think you could release a test version without this failed attempt of "always maintain all of it's icons together"? Just simple, blunt, add tray icons to the system and let os/user deal with them, no any fancy manipulations on HDS part. This is so frustrating that after reboot not o...

generally this grouping would be exactly what I wanted to achieve : to keep icons together and in correct order. I hope that was simply poor choice of words and you do realize that "grouping" is a horrible idea to begin with (but I think you meant group as in not being scattered) ... Anyh...

I just tried on fresh W10 in VMware virtual pc with 6 virtual drives, every single icon was in one single group. Disabled all icons, but left 2 and they still were in a group. I guess it's safe to say, that total number of icons has no affect. I've tested on activity icons and temp icons (although t...

There you go:

Using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Windows 10 Pro x64

Can reproduce on each OS.

Computers have over 8 hard drives in each.

Ok, let's recap of what we have: HDS is attempting to show all icons in proper order, but the icons ended up jumbled up in random order anyway. It save to say automated order doesn't work at all . user cannot re-order the icons manually to 100% of their satisfaction, because the icons are grouped an...

The only change could be to do NOT hide all icons and show them again, just show the change, for example display a new icon related to the newly inserted hard disk. But this would exactly cause the situation I wanted to avoid: then the new icon would be displayed first (so the temperature of the la...

Hard Disk Sentinel designed to always maintain all of its icons together. So it always show / hide all icons together, exactly to keep them together and to be displayed in the proper order. This worked perfectly on older OSes, for example Win2000/XP, where the icons are always together. Do you thin...

Hello. I have 6 hard drives in RAID5 and HDS properly identify them. I set it to show temperature for each hard drive in tray, and I'd like them show in sequence of the tray each of them in, however some icons are combined, meaning if I drag one icon around tray, it moves 2 or sometimes 3 icons with...
