HDD Temperature
-
Version
1.4
There are many reasons why hard-drives get damaged,
and overheating is probably the most common one.
If you remember your physics lessons well, you know
that spinning something at several thousand
revolutions per minute causes heat, plenty of heat.
That is why servers and computers have coolers, fans
and other gadgets that prevent overheating. But as
fans get plugged, coolers stop working, or too many
hard-drives get added - the risk of "frying" your HDDs
and losing data increases drastically. So how do you
monitor your HDD temperature to make sure you data is
always save? Simply download HDD Temperature from
PalickSoft.
This utility comes in two versions - regular and pro.
The regular version is intended for home users who
have only single hard-drive and is totally free. Using
S.M.A.R.T. technology included in all modern HDDs, HDD
Temperature checks and monitors the temperature of
your hard drives; you can also set the maximum value
of drive temperature so that you will be warned should
this temperature be exceeded.
S.M.A.R.T. stands for "Self-Monitoring, Analysis and
Reporting Technology" and is currently the most
advanced technology in this field; this technology was
developed by HDD manufacturers and is supported by
IBM, Maxtor, Seagate, Hitachi and many others.
HDD Temperature Pro is created specially for small and
large companies that have many computers and need to
monitor multiple hard-drives. This "beefed up" version
has several features that the regular version does
not. For example, it can monitor several HDDs
simultaneously and can send warning messages to a
specified e-mail address or certain computer in the
network. Importantly, it can automatically force
overheated system to hibernate, protecting both HDD
and unsaved data. You also can run this application
as network service, making this tool is ideal for
corporate networks.
