Publisher's Description
Drive Health helps you to estimate your hard disks Life Resource. This tool allows you to predict possible HDD failure and prevent losing the critical data. To estimate hard disk life our program uses special S.M.A.R.T. technology that is supported by the most of hard disk manufacturers. It provides access to the hard disk drives reliability monitoring, and keeps you informed about any potentially dangerous degradations of performance or reliability of your HDDs. The monitoring program uses minimum CPU and memory resources and can be run as a NT service.

Limited to S.M.A.R.T.-supported hard drives, excluding some older models.
May not detect sudden hardware failures unrelated to S.M.A.R.T. data.
Requires some technical knowledge to interpret certain health metrics.
No cloud backup or direct data recovery features—just monitoring.

A piece of junk. Has no notification options whatsoever. Want to be notified via network popup? Too bad. Email? No can do.

A good attempt, but in my experience SMART has no ability to predict catostophic drive failures. They happen regardless of SMART conditions, temperatures, etc.

I've used this program for a while. Took me forever to find this and it seems to be the best of the SMART detections. You need a bit of common sense so you know what matters or not on the warnings, but mostly it tells you.

Very useful program.
