Hard Disk Monitoring

Hi hdsentinel

I bought a new ASUS Sata cable, and redid the surface test (usually 1 surface read test triggered 100 errors or so) and so far so good. Thanks, seems your application is flawless

Thank you, I guess that's it

Awsome. Thanks a lot for detailed response. I won't lie to you that I trust more in your knoledge than what I read on the forums, hence me buying a license of your software years ago ;) One last tiny question (sorry for off topic). If I get a big spikes (like from 122 - 229) of Ultra CRC Error count...

Thanks a lot for detailed response! Sorry that I didn't mention it in my question, but it was in relation to HDD ofcourse and I asked about it because I heard that magneticaly stored data tends to fade away over time (since it's magnetic). So I can store it theoreticaly for 10-20 years and if the HD...

Hi hdsentinel Still using your product and still super satisfied :) I am today doing my usuall "hard drives tests" cycle and I've noticed again the "Read + Write + Read" which is interesting in case of refreshing those blocks. I got 2 questions concerning that test: 1) What kind ...

Thanks hdsentinel for pointing me to the exact location where I can tweak it. Yes, the "brief..." setting seems like exactly what I was looking for. I changed that and will see how it works the next time I get an email. Thanks!

Hi hdsentinel

I got quick question here. I get from time to time alert email notifications stating in the title for example "critical value degradation", but how can I pinpoint from the content of the email what actually changed?

> I see. However, when I stop the surface test then the HD Sentinel App unlocks the drive instantly. > Wouldn't be the same case over here? It is completely different case. When the surface test started, then Hard Disk Sentinel is performing the test itself, so it knows properly when the test compl...

> To give you more info, I was running the tests on the SSD's on my main OS (from 850 Pro). Yes, I thought it, as such issue is usually related to OS drive, which has constant (even minimal) disk activity. The problem is that screenshot I gave you is from the 840 Pro, so not the drive on which the ...

Generally, it is more related to the disk controller (and its driver) than the device itself. Are the hard disks connected to the same disk controller? Even if they're all on the motherboard, there may be different controller(s) (usually SATA ports are color coded). Or, it is possible that the SSD ...

Thanks for the answer hdsentinel. But that problem I can only observe on my SSD's (I have 3 of those), while my HDDs are finishing their extended test almost to the minute. Why is that?

Hi HD Sentinel. I got a question about the weird test time estimates. When I started the test on my Samsung SSD Pro 512GB it said something over 30 minutes at the start. Then when it reached 1 minutes it stayed like that for almost 10 hours: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dtwy7b2qfllhzqj/2015-01-07%2006_...

Thanks hdsentinel a lot for pointing me to that direction. I missed that option.

Thanks for the update, I appreciate it.

Hi hdsentinel I'm still in awe with your app, and not regret a bit buying 2 licenses last year. Definetly a worthy purchase. Anyways I was wondering if there is some setting which I can use that will either notify me by email or by popup, whenever something bad occurs with any of the harddrives. I k...

Hi hdsentinel

Any update after a year? As you see I'm indeed a patient man

cheers

Hi hdsentinel You were correct, although I'm not sure why I didn't get email from google about the "insecure login try" before. I did get it now when I tried to make the test again. That led me to the solution. In anyways, for someone else who might get this problem in the future, here are...

Hi hdsentinel I know I set it correctly and it worked about half a year ago, but now when I tried to test it I get an tray popup saying the report could not be sent and to check my configuration. But the problem is I didn't change anything in between. Were there some changes to a gmail configuration...

I applied the cache reset, and so far so good. Thanks for the tip hdsentinel

cheers
Lucas

Thanks for the answer

I will follow your directions, the next time I notice this.
