configure HDS to immediately inform (bubble,warning sound)

Post by Nero »

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 checked it on many partially or entirely problematic (not respond) disks.

Select Configuration -> Alerts page. Enable the option "sound alert" in the line of "When a new log entry is added".
It means you'll receive sound alert when any new problem detected and logged (in the Log page of the disk drive).
On this page, you can specify the sound alert file and set to repeat sound alert - until you acknowledge by the speaker button in the main window or right click on the tray icon.

Select Configuration -> Alerts page (see above) and enable the "Send/display message".
On the Message settings page, you can configure what exactly to be done:
- send email
- display message
- send network message
- add to Windows event log
- run external application

Also you can configure other options, for example to make alert when the health drops below threshold, when temperature is high, shut down PC, etc..

Please do not post same to multiple topics...

This option designed to work only on older systems and with some special disk/RAID controllers which can cause troubles.
On most modern systems yes, this option may have not effect.
