Met jumpa lagi sobat blogger semua. Pada postingan terdahulu, saya sudah pernah menghadirkan sebuah software yang fungsinya untuk menganalisis danmemonitor tingkat kesehatan Hard Disk komputer. Software yang saya maksud adalah Hard Disk Sentinel (HDSentinel). Saat sekarang software ini sudah mencapai versi 3.60 (HD Sentinel Pro v3.60). Baiklah, untuk me-refresh kembali ingatan sobat tentang software ini, akan saya kutipkan kembali deskripsinya dari apa yang sudah pernah saya tulis sebelumnya.
Hard Disk Sentinel [HDSentinel (12.1 MB)] adalah sebuah software yang didisain untuk melakukan analisis dan monitoring berbagai jenis OS HDD/SSD. Tujuannya adalah untuk menemukan, menguji, mendiagnosa dan memperbaiki masalah-masalah pada hard disk (HDD), melaporkan dan memperlihatkan kesehatan SSD dan HDD, penurunan kualitas penampilan dan kegagalan pada komputer.
HD Sentinel memberikan deskripsi tertulis yang komplit, memperlihatkan berbagai tips serta memberikan tampilan/laporan mengenai informasi secara menyeluruh mengenai hard disk dan keseluruhan perangkat keras baik di dalam komputer maupun perangkat eksternal (USB / e-SATA). Software ini juga memberikan banyak tanda peringatan (alerts) dan laporan yang memastikan keselamatan maksimal dari semua data berharga sobat.
HD Sentinel memonitor Harddisk / status HDD, termasuk kesehatan (health), suhu (temperature) dan nilai/skor dari semua S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, yang sudah built in di dalam sebagian besar hard disk). Software ini juga mengukur kecepatan transfer disk secara real time yang bisa dipakai sebagai tanda ataupun untuk mendeteksi kegagalan hard disk yang mungkin terjadi, maupun penurunan penampilan dari hard disk.
HDDSentinel adalah sebuah solusi proteksi data yang sempurna: Software ini bisa dipakai secara efektif untuk mencegah kegagalan HDD dan kehilangan data SSD/HDD karena software ini mempunyai sistem rating kesehatan disk yang sangat sensitif terhadap permasalahan yang terjadi di seputar disk. Versi Profesional dari software ini mempunyai pilihan back up disk (ketika dalam masalah) secara terjadwal dan otomatis untuk mencegah kehilangan data yang disebabkan tidak hanya karena kegagalan tetapi juga oleh malware ataupun ‘accidental delate’ (proses delate yang terjadi secara tiba-tiba dan tidak sengaja).
Bagaimana Hard Disk Sentinel bekerja?
HDD Sentinel berjalan secara background dan mem-verifikasi status kesehatan SSD/HDD dengan cara menginspeksi status SMART pada perangkat disk. Jika sebuah kesalahan (error) ditemukan ataupun muncul tingkah laku aneh yang terdeteksi, software ini akan memberikan peringatan kepada User(pemakai komputer) mengenai situasi yang sedang berjalan dan juga bisa menampilkan aksi-aksi/tindakan yang tepat (sebagai contoh, memulai sebuah backup secara otomatis).
Biasanya, status kesehatan hard disk cenderung menurun, dari hari ke hari. Teknologi monitoring SMART bisa memprediksi kegagalan HDD dengan cara menguji nilai-nilai kritis dari drive disk. Dibandingkan dengan software sejenis lainnya, Hard Disk Sentinel lebih mampu mendeteksi dan memberikan laporan yang lebih detail dari setiap permasalahan disk. Software ini jauh lebih sensitif mendeteksi kegagalan-kegagalan disk dan bisa memberikan tampilan yang lebih baik dan memberikan informasi yang lebih detail mengenai kondisi dan jalannya hard disk dan berikut masalah-masalah yang ditemukan (jika ada).
HDDSentinel menampilkan suhu (temperature) hard disk terkini dan logs maksimum serta rata-rata suhu hard disk. Ini bisa dipakai untuk mengecek suhu maksimum hard disk yang di anjurkan untuk kesehatan hard disk / kompi sobat. Suhu maksimum dari hard disk dianjurkan oleh HDDSentinel tidak boleh lebih dari 50 derajat celcius agar kesehatan hard disk/ kompi sobat terjamin. Saran saya, kalau sobat sering memakai kompi dalam waktu yang cukup lama, pakailah Cooling Pad di bawah laptop sobat. Alat ini sangat bermanfaat untuk menjaga kestabilan suhu hard disk, sehingga kompi kita tidak cepat panas. Manfaat jangka panjangnya adalah menjaga ke-awetan dan daya tahan kompi/laptop, sehingga bisa kita pakai dalam kurun waktu yang lama dan tidak lekas rusak.
Mengingat pentingnya Software yang satu ini, saya anjurkan sobat untuk segera menginstalnya di kompi/laptop. Saya yakin sobat akan tertarik, karena fitur dan interface-nya yang menarik dan cukup berguna tentunya.
Hard Disk Sentinel [HDSentinel (12.1 MB)] is a HDD/SSD monitoring and analysis application. Its goal is to find, test, diagnose and repair disk drive problems, report and display SSD and HDD health, performance degradations and failures. Hard Disk Sentinel gives 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 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 disks. Also it measures the disk transfer speed in real time which can be used as a benchmark or to detect possible hard disk failures, performance degradations.
HDSentinel 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 disk health rating system which is extremely sensitive to disk problems. This way even a small HDD problem can't be missed. The Professional version has scheduled and automatic (on-problem) disk backup options to prevent data loss caused by not only failure but by malware or accidental delete also.
Features:
Easy to use interface: All information are displayed in the main window of the application. Quick controls allow easy navigation to access all hard disks, partitions and different information. Intuitive user interface elements display information by using green/yellow/red color to indicate the level of problem. Detailed text description and context sensitive help guides the user thru the features and options.
1. Install > 2. Configure > 3. Stay protected: Just install, configure alerts and backup functions and your system is now safe. You'll be notified about the problems - but if everything is correct, Hard Disk Sentinel just sits on tray and displays current status. The data is protected 24 hours daily, 7 days a week.
Disk Management: Control Advanced Power Management level and adjust Free Fall Control sensitivity of hard disks to maximise hard disk performance and data safety.
Backup: Wide range of automatic backup methods are available: to backup data to local computer, to a LAN server or to a remote server by transferring files via FTP (or even by e-mail). It is possible to use 3rd party tools to create archives or burn CD/DVD media. Hard Disk Sentinel Professional can manage power status of remote computers in the network, so it is possible to automatically power on and shut down remote computers, for example a backup server.
API Interface For Developers: With the API it is possible to query detected hard disk information from the software. This way 3rd party software can log, display or otherwise process detected disk information including temperature, health and so.
Remote Monitoring: Hard Disk Sentinel Professional offers extensive remote monitoring capabilities. Hard disk status can be checked remotely by a web browser, even by a mobile phone or a PDA.
Instant S.M.A.R.T. analysing: Hard Disk Sentinel can communicate with IDE, Serial ATA, SCSI and most USB HDD and SSD to detect their status and temperature. Disk status are displayed immediately as you launch the application, there is no need to analyse disks for a long period. It displays the current and maximum temperature for the hard disk. It reads all general and vendor-specific attributes and monitor their values. For advanced users, all raw data are displayed also including power-on time and number of read/write errors. Hard Disk Sentinel interprets the performance and fitness related S.M.A.R.T. values and displays the calculated Performance and Health percentage, total power on time and estimated lifetime remaining.
Hard Disk Hardware and Software Tests: By using Hard Disk Sentinel, it is possible to start hardware hard disk self tests. These tests can be used to effectively find all hard disk problems because built-in hardware methods are used to verify hard disk components (for example heads, servo, internal buffer in the Short self test). The Extended self test also verifies the complete disk surface, finds and repairs all weak areas and re-allocates the possible bad sectors. This is not possible with the software-based disk surface scan methods (for example, by using scandisk).
Seek Noise Test: Seek Test - to verify hard disk noise, seek time performance and temperature. Longer tests can be used as very deep and intensive stress-tests for the disk system and useful to verify if additional cooling is required.
Enhanced Disk Tests: Surface Test - to verify hard disk surface with intensive disk testing methods to reveal and fix disk problems. Surface reinitialisation resets all sectors to factory default states. Different destructive and non-destructive tests are available to re-fresh the condition of any hard disks, solid state disks or even your pendrives or memory cards.
Logging: Hard Disk Sentinel logs all degradations in all SMART parameters and issues alerts in such cases to maximise data protection. For example, if a new bad sector is found on your hard disk, you will be notified.
Alerts: Hard Disk Sentinel has wide range of alerts upon different problems. It can send e-mail (with e-mail->SMS gateway it can be SMS warning to your mobile), network message, can play sound alerts and so.It can execute various tasks (automatic panic backup or any configured external applications) in case of a problem.There is an option to send daily emails about current status.
Shutdown: Offers option to shut down the computer on hard disk failure, HDD overheat or health degradation. This option can be used in combination of the alerts to prevent further data loss.
Hard Disk Details: Detects and displays every information about the hard disk, from the revision number and buffer size to all features it has. The maximum available and current transfer modes are also displayed.
HDD status in Windows Explorer: View the current health status and used space in Windows Explorer or in any other application, so you'll always know the amount of used space for each partitions and the disk condition.
Information on demand: Current hard disk temperatures and health are displyed on the system tray and can be displayed in a small status window, the desktop itself or in a sidebar gadget (under Windows Vista or newer operating system). Average and maximum temperatures are logged for all hard disks and these informations are displayed in graphs for statistical purposes.
Hard Disk Performance: Logs how much data were read from or written to the hard disk. Displays current transfer rates for both reading and writing and estimates the maximum available (theoretical) transfer rate for a particular hard disk.
Hard Disk Partitions: Displays partitions for each physical hard disks and type and usage informations about them so you cannot run out of space. Hard Disk Sentinel sends this information automatically in alert/status messages.
Acoustic Management: Offers option to control the acoustic level of IDE/S-ATA hard disk. It is possible to increase performance or make the disks more silent. Unique feature: control the acoustic level of your external USB hard disk (if your USB enclosure is equipped with proper USB-ATA bridge chip which supports this feature).
Clock Synchronization: It offers option to synchronize the PC clock with an atomic clock via NTP (Network Time Protocol).
