Hard Disk Monitoring

How to artificially call a problem with a disk and check if there are specific alerts?

The disk hangs, the disk is not working properly, the MFT is damaged, the sectors damaged. HDS does not inform about it in any way (no information, no sound signal) Why do I need an e-mail message, I have to enter the mailbox and read messages there, very funny. I can check errors only in the main H...

Panic Backup How to configure to make a backup (save to different/various partitions). So use all free space on different partitions. For example, I want to recover 1TB (1000GB) of data. And how to smaller parts, so that it can be save on different partitions simultaneously. I reserve that it CAN NO...

checking connections, replacing cables, perform disk testing to reveal and fix the problems. There is nothing to do here. Modern SATA cables simply do not damage themselves. Once - only the problem was the old vein cables (ATA) in older types of disks. How do bad sectors happen? - Some program inco...

Without reference to a specific manufacturer, we can say that the optimal temperature range for HDD is from 30 to 45 ° C. This is a stable performance of the disk operating in a clean room at room temperature. Above 50-55 ° C - has already been considered a critical figure that should not be on the ...

copy it full with data files Unfortunately, most (and even all the best tools) of the offered tools (professional) - will not make backups, because the bad sectors will be the obstacle, trying to recover data from bad sectors, it will simply hang or copy will not continue. A person has developed a ...

In my Windows 7 it is configured so that it shows all the bubbles and in a practically unlimited time (just closing the balloons manually). When I had problems with the disk: a) hanging up b) bad sectors c) performance problem I did not get any notifications, even though I used all available setting...

Currently, this is not possible, the disk "theoretically works" but is not detected (or detected only really super-shortly). This may be due to unstable sectors on the disk that I managed to capture earlier. Then all partitions were damaged. All partition tables have been damaged. At the m...

SSD Lifetime writes / Estimated remaining lifetime Kingston HyperX 3K (SH103S3/120G) Should we be overly concerned about its durability, because it will most likely "survive" the warranty period and will work for years at a high level :?: It is a myth that the TBW index determines the life...

You can ask for replacement hard disk only when the hard disk health is 0 % . I can not agree with that. The disk may show a greater % value, but stop functioning normally (example: 56%) Therefore, "0%" is not true here. I read various comments on forums, where people asked, for example, ...

Not everyone has an additional disk (backup). Depending on the amount of data. And he can not rewrite data to another (healthy) disk. So the question arises: How do you ONLY ERASE (do not allocate) unstable sectors (197 Current Pending Sector Count) without having to make copies (backup)? Probably z...

Configuration-> Alerts-> Enabled I had a disk that reported problems, but Hard Disk Sentinel did not show in the tray: 1. Nothing to blink. 2. She did not show any balloon. https://www.hdsentinel.com/help/img/scr10.gif Setting: https://i.postimg.cc/B6HxhMqz/Screen-Shot-02-15-19-at-09-45-PM.jpg What ...

Incorrect "Performance" information 100% ???
I do not have this disk anymore, but the read / write speed of the disk has dropped practically to zero. And the disk with such a low speed was not able to write or read anything. Unless "Performance" concerns a different parameter?

How to properly perform temperature calibration? Because I do not know exactly what to do. Temperature status is good. It is recommended to calibrate the temperature and set the temperature offset on the S.M.A.R.T. page. This way later the correct temperature value will be displayed. WDC WD20EFRX-68...

Fast formatting does not repair logical sectors in any case. Simply the value of unstable sectors in SMART will not decrease.
It must be in-depth formatting, but a better solution is to erase the disk (zeroing) and then quickly format.

I know from experience that disk analysis may reveal an unstable sector (logical), as indicated by SMART, but any attempt to read such a sector will be associated with an increase in errors: "Raw Read Error Rate". I learned from data recovery specialists that it is not recommended to scan ...

On what basis the drive will operate for 700+ days (viability), since after repairing the unstable sectors it has returned to 1000 days again? I tested empty space WIPE f in a tool and unfortunately in two cases failed and caused unstable sectors (and read errors). Why? Does the HDS application not ...

How to configure HDS to immediately inform: 1. NON-STOP Sound signal - if there are warnings (eg bad blocks, unstable sectors) 2. Immediate display of information on the desktop or in the speech bubble in the tray Enable warning if the hard disk is not respond. The option does not work at all, I che...

I tested this and does not scan the partition I want. How do I set it up, I have 32 partitions

Another tool without problems identifies (additionally the utility shows all information number cylinders) which partition on the hard drive I want to scan with 100% accuracy. I still don't know how to scan with 100% accuracy in HDS. How do I convert values to 100% accuracy? Why another tool is able...
