SIGuardian
-
Version
1.7.335
Learn about HDD failure BEFORE it happens and save
your valuable data. SIGuardian uses S.M.A.R.T
technology built in every modern hard-drive to
accurately predict the date when using a particular
hard-drive is no longer safe.
S.M.A.R.T. stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and
Reporting Technology. Every time the hard-drive is
started, it performs a self-checkup and records a
certain value for each of its attributes
(properties). The values range between 0 (non-
functioning) to 250 (excellent condition). The
average value for most attributes is 100. When the
safety threshold is crossed (20 for most attributes),
it means that a hard-drive is unstable and you should
back up your data.
SIGuardian displays all HDD attribute values, whether
they are safe and not, real-time. This tool is also
capable of monitoring HDD temperature and alerting you
over the network or via e-mail when overheating or
failure possibility is diagnosed. You don’t have to
monitor HDD condition – the program can do it itself.
The program works in two modes. The first one is
attribute check upon startup. In this mode, the
program compares previous attribute values to the new
ones and, if the are unchanged, automatically closes
itself. Likewise, if SIGuardian discovers that some
attribute value is lower, you will be alerted.
In the second mode, this software application is
continuously running and checks for the attribute
values periodically according to the user specified
intervals.
While the program is simple and straightforward enough
to be used by any computer user at home or office,
SIGuardian comes with special features that make it an
ideal tool for monitoring multiple hard-drives. The
program is very easy to deploy over networks of any
size. In addition, SIGuardian is capable of supplying
other HDD information, such as standards supported,
speed modes, current working mode, to name a few.

HDD failures again.
