Hard Disk Monitoring

Hello from Canada!

A happy user here. Intalled a RAID with 16 x 4TB HDDs in RAID 6 and HDS sees all of them. Great work !!!

One suggestion : able to see all time charts / graphs for all disks in parallel (for same stat). For ex. 16 temp. charts or traces on same graph on vertically stacked graphs. Would be fantastic !!!

Thanks !

Thanks so much for your message, glad to hear things work correctly

Not really sure if I understand the idea correctly ...
Do you prefer to see the temperature of all drives in different graphs, so there would be 16 temperature graphs in this case?
Or do you prefer to see the temperature of all drives in the same graph (for example displayed with different colors)?

Just to make sure I understand correctly.

Thanks !

Hi ! Both solutions would work but I prefer 16 graphs on top of each other, on the right of the corresponding drive button. The graphs could all be of the same (user-defined) color. I think multi-colored curves on the same graph would be difficult to interpret with 16 or more colors.

The height of each time series plot (ex. temp. vs time, performance vs time, etc.) would be the same as the corresponding drive button itself (compact/normal/large). The (common) width of all graphs would be resizable. The X-axis scale (time) would be common to all graphs.

Something similar to Windows 7 Task Manager's Networking tab or the Resource Monitor (right portion):



Thank you for your reply !

Thanks, I see!
Yes, I completely agree that using the same graph with so many drives would be hard to interpret (this is why there is no such display now as it may be too crowded).

Yes, I see: so generally the drive selector buttons can be used to display such graphs.
Never thought about such - but yes, this may be really useful, so I'll examine the possibilities and may be available in a future version.
Thanks for the tip !!

My pleasure ! Thanks for considering !
