Hard Disk Sentinel Portable (HD Sentinel) is a hard disk monitoring software with support for HDD/SSD drives. Its goal is to find, test, diagnose, and repair hard disk drive problems, report and display SSD and HDD health, performance degradations, and failures.

Hard Disk Sentinel Professional Portable gives a complete textual description, tips, and displays/reports the most comprehensive information about the hard disks and solid-state disks inside the computer or in external enclosures (USB / e-SATA). Many different alerts and report options are available to ensure the maximum safety of your valuable data.

The software monitors hard disk drive / HDD status, including health, temperature and all S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology, built in most hard disks and solid state disks today) values for each disk. Also, it measures the disk transfer speed in real-time, which can be used as a benchmark or to detect possible hard disk failures and performance degradations.

Hard Disk Sentinel Portable (HDD Sentinel) is the perfect data protection solution: it can be effectively used to prevent HDD failure and SSD / HDD data loss because it has the most sensitive hard disk health rating system, which is extremely sensitive to hard disk problems. This way, even a small HDD problem can't be missed. The Professional version has scheduled, and automatic (on-problem) hard disk backup options to prevent data loss caused not only by failure but also by malware or accidental deletion.
