Volume Names?

[jmone]

Where in HDS do you see the Voume Names (I could be going blind) for each of the HDD. I have a set of disks joined using Drive Bender into one logical drive map but I cant see in HDS what the volume name of each of the physical dirves which makes it hard to work out which one is while (see pic) so I'm going off the Disc 0, 1, 2 etc description.

As you may see, in the HDD selector of Hard Disk Sentinel, you can check the volume labels and associated hard disk letters (if any) for each hard disks.
If the drives have no disk letters associated (just a mount point, as in this situation), you can see it on the top of Information page (look for "Mount Point").
Alternatively yes, you may enter description for each hard disks on the main page to help them to identify.

Is it possible to use a third-party software to read drives and designate drives/letters to each one?

Sorry to bump. But HDS will only display the VOLNAME if the HDD has a Drive Letter assigned to it. When no drive letter is assigned then HDS does not show the VOLNAME in the drive selector window.

Yes, it is completely true.
Please see the previous answer about it, sent at 14 June 2012, this exactly confirms that.

The Logical Drive(s) Section on the Information Tab only appears for drives with an assiged drive Letter so again there is no way of seeing the VOLNAME if the HDD does not have an assigned drive letter. I know I could (and have on some of my hdds) used the Comment field but is it possible to add to HDS the VOLNAME info at some point?
Thanks

Sorry - I'm checking I understand correctly - Here is a pic of what I see on the top of an Information tag. I can see no information on the Drive Vol (or am I looking at the wrong area)?
Thanks

Will check it and if possible, it will be available in a later version. Thanks for the suggestion and your attention, I'll let you know if an update will contain this feature!

You are at the correct area. There should be displayed the logical drive letters (with volume names) and NTFS mount points for the drives.

I don't think the info is there unless there is a drive letter assigned (well I can not see it in the pic).

Thanks for your consideration as it is sometimes difficult to physically identify which drive is what VOL when you have many of the same drive model. Currently I temporarily add a drive letter.

Please check the following version:

That will display the volume labels even if there are no drive letters assigned.
