The main features of CrystalDiskInfo include showing important information about your drives, keeping an eye on their S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) values, and tracking the temperature of the drives. When you want to know detailed information about the hard drives in your computer, CrystalDiskInfo is a go-to option. It presents the data in a straightforward manner, making it easy to read and understand. The tool checks on various aspects of your drives, like their overall health status and operational temperature. It can also send you warnings if it detects any potential issues, helping you prevent data loss or drive failure. Once you open CrystalDiskInfo, you'll see a summary of your drives at the top of the window, including their health status and, if available, temperature. If you click on a specific drive, the program will show more details about it, such as its name, model, capacity, and other technical data. For example, it will tell you how many times the drive has been powered on and for how long, as well as the number of reads and writes it has processed. This information helps you understand how much use your drive has seen and its current condition.

Although not all SSDs come with temperature sensors, CrystalDiskInfo will display this information for those that do. The tool also shows whether your drive supports certain features like S.M.A.R.T., TRIM, and NCQ, which are technologies designed to improve performance and reliability. CrystalDiskInfo has several settings and options. You can change the interface language, choose different fonts, and decide what information you want to copy from the program. It includes a variety of advanced features, such as detailed graphs showing many disk parameters, options for displaying startup and temperature information, and direct links to Windows Device Manager and Disk Manager for further disk management tasks.

Additionally, the program lets you control some advanced drive settings like AAM/APM (Automatic Acoustic Management/Advanced Power Management), set up email alerts for potential issues, and view a log of significant events related to your drives' health. You can also customize thresholds for caution on various drive metrics, helping you stay informed about your drives' condition.

Finally, CrystalDiskInfo can sit in your system tray, showing the temperature of your selected drive at a glance. It also offers a menu for quickly adjusting common settings, including alarms for high temperatures and health status indicators, making it a handy tool for keeping an eye on your drives' well-being without needing to open the full program.

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.

Uptodown is a multi-platform app store specialized in Android. Our goal is to provide free and open access to a large catalog of apps without restrictions, while providing a legal distribution platform accessible from any browser, and also through its official native app.

To automate the process of installing CrystalDiskInfo, generating a disk health report, and emailing it to your address, you can use a script. Below is a PowerShell script that accomplishes these tasks.

This script will be Install CrystalDiskInfo using the winget command.
Execute CrystalDiskInfo with the /CopyExit parameter to generate the DiskInfo.txt file.
Check if the DiskInfo.txt file exists.
If it exists, it will create an email with the disk health report as an attachment and send it to the specified email address.
If the file does not exist, it will output an error message.
Make sure to run this script with appropriate permissions and test it in a controlled environment before deploying it to production. Also, be aware of any security policies that might restrict the execution of scripts or the sending of emails from your network.

CrystalDiskInfo is a HDD/SSD utility which supports S.M.A.R.T. It supports a part of external USB disks, monitoring health status and temperature, graph of S.M.A.R.T. information, control AAM/APM settings and more.

I just keep adding disks and keep going. I have 12 disks: 9 hard disks, two SSDs, and one USB stick connected to my OMV machine. I have room for five more disks in the DAS box connected to the OMV box.

I use hddsentinel on Windows, can it work on Linux too? Is it a daemon and sends regular reports, or you have to access it via a web gui?
EDIT: Found on the HDDsentinel website!!! Great, it can send an automated script everyday! Thanks for the hint buddy!

@wepee have you enabled SMART reporting from OVM itself? That one is more detailed.
I have a friend with a very used drive (2 bad unrecoverable bad sectors and 1300h uptime) which is rated by SNAPRAID at 99% failure, lol.
My friend is aware of it and receives a daily SMART email from OMV, which monitors constantly the drive. If the health will degrade, he'll swap the drive.

I trust the data given by SnapRAID SMART. If and when it detects a real problem with a disk, I expect it to properly report it. I don't understand the failure probability reports. The numbers have been increasing since I started using OMV - more than five years ago, but I'm not seeing any SMART data that indicates any problems with any of my disks.

In my opinion, I guess it is just a false alarm, or some sort of weird reporting / hard failure prediction that is probably not
updated to reflect the newer hard disk drive's firmware/ that developer Andrea has forgotten to update.

@thedarkness Thank you for sharing your finding.

With standard SMART testing (I do short tests), and with SMART notifications activated, the follow are the stat's that I pay attention to for spinning drives:
(This info was gleaned from the backblaze study.)

The rest of the available SMART stat's are OEM dependent, where they may be implemented differently from vendor to vendor. The only way to interpret them is to go on the OEM's website to see what they are and what triggers a count event. As an example, the raw counts on a Seagate (1 - Raw Read Error rate and 7 - seek error rate,) may be quite high but functionally, with built in error correction, these counts may mean nothing.
