CrystalDiskInfo monitors disk health status and temperature, monitoring/graphing of S.M.A.R.T. diagnostic information. The program also tells you how many times the hard disk has been turned on and how many hours.
Functional with magnetic and solid state disks.
@Andrew Lee: I have no objections. I'm just asking. I remember that quite a long time ago new folders and files arrived, and the procedure is still the same. That's why I'm wondering if it's up to date with these files.
I still follow this procedure and still use the portable version.
@dmocha: I just downloaded the ZIP file for v9.0.1, and it seems the file/dir structure is still pretty much the same, so the extraction instruction should still be valid. Could you provide details on the diffs that you are seeing?
Might be worth staying on the previous release if you have a Samsung SSD like the very popular EVO. Why wouldn't you want to have the health the % available???

The latest version still crashes on my machine running same setup as last time (HP Pavilion dv5, Vista Home Premium 32bit SP1). I've never been a fan of those "reCAPTURE" thingies, it's kind of disapointing to see it implemented on this website too.
CrystalDiskInfo is an app designed to help you keep your PC's hard drive healthy. The app, which supports S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) technology, helps you detect and prevent future disk surface errors so that you can take timely action before data loss becomes irreplaceable.
The first thing you will see when running CrystalDiskInfo is a clear and simple interface that displays all the detailed information about your main hard disk: from the brand and model to the buffer size and cache, as well as the serial number or even the firmware. With a single click, you can take a look at any other hard disk connected to the PC. And again, you can instantly see data such as the temperature or the hours it has been on.
The software uses a color scheme to warn you about the dangerousness of the disk status. By default, if all goes well, the most important information on your hard disks will appear in green or blue, depending on the style you are using. This way, if you see that the temperature or some other parameter turns yellow, you know you should be careful and pay attention to any possible problem.
CrystalDiskInfo is an excellent tool for monitoring hard disks and SSD drives to know, with a simple glance, the health status of one of the most important parts of your PC. The program is also fully customizable, with different color schemes, dark mode and the possibility to choose from more than twenty different languages.
No, CrystalDiskInfo isn't available on Mac. CrystalDiskInfo is only available on Windows, including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11, as well as various versions of Windows Server.

I really need to know if anyone has installed a Samsung 960 Evo or Pro in an AW17 R4 or AW15 R3. If so is it recognized by Samsung Magician as a retail "Samsung" drive? Mine is not. Also, if I try to install the Samsung NVME driver, it fails, saying there is no NVME device.
My AW17 identifies it as a "aSsmnu gSS D69 0VE O05G0 B (00.00 GB)" which clearly should be "Samsung SSD 960 EVO 500GB (500.00 GB)".
I've taken it up with the supplier but, of course, they say it must be the laptop that is the problem:-(
The drive does work, but the scrambled drive ID and zero capacity is a bit worrying. Hwinfo also reports zero data parameters about the drive
- i.e. no info on capacity, geometry, transfer modes, etc.
I should have mentioned that the 960 EVO is now identified correctly by Samsung Magician. It is no longer a jumbled up mess of characters. This got fixed when I changed the SATA mode in the BIOS from RAID to AHCI.
Yes buddy I know its the same thing for me, there is an alternative to magician to get data about the SSD it is called : Crystal Disk Info. With that you get the number of working hours, ssd health, temperature, total reading/writing etc...
Dave - it's worse than I thought. It looks like it doesn't support trim, which is bad. Using Macrium Reflect to back up and restore partitions, a write is preceded by a trim command. This usually reports success, but the 960 reports nothing.
This is in a recovery environment - nothing to do with windows. However, the environment includes all necessary drivers, so it could I suppose be a driver issue (there is no Samsung NVME driver in my system).
By poor quality, I mean only raw values (not Current /Worst/Threshold), and parameter IDs that are significantly different from those of an 850 EVO (for example no Error Counts, Reallocated Sector Count, Wear Leveling Count, etc, etc).
I am coming to the conclusion that the 960 series is so new that current software tools cannot cope with it - not even Samsung Magician. The pdf guide for the latest Samsung Magician 4.9 states that this version now supports the 950 PRO M.2!
I have no idea what function the Samsung NVME driver v2 performs. It doesn't seem to have any effect. It shows up in device manager as a storage controller, but the drive itself is using Microsoft drivers.
OK - I think I was correct in my assumption that current software tools are not working well with the 960 series. Samsung have just updated Magician to version 5, and it is clearly a major update. It has a revamped UI and now works well with my 960 EVO.
I also have 2015 R2. I have Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB on Sata Port, Samsung 951 256 GB on PCIE x2 link and Samsung 960 EVO 1TB on PCIE x4 link. Of course I am countinuing with Intel RAID (which has AHCI/NVME drivers built in). So only Samsung 850 EVO is shown in Samsung Magician with remaining 2 NVME disks as unknown device. Samsung needs to improve magician. I am not worried about Trim since trim is inbuilt from Windows 8.1. I have other notebooks where I am using built in trim (120 TBW so far on two different 850 EVO SSDs). Only problem is though I am getting 3200 MB read and 2000 MB sequencial writes, IOPS are only 120,000 and 110,000 respectively. What IOPS you are seeing in samsung magician after switching to AHCI.
Alienware 17 R3 and Samsung EVO 960 Pro : not compatible. Just spent hours on the phone with premium support. Even if you can get Windows or an OS to install, likely it will die in a few days and not see the drive.
