Hard Disk Sentinel (HD Sentinel) is a hard disk monitoring software with support of HDD/SSD drives. Its goal is to find, test, diagnose and repair hard disk drive problems, report and display SSD and HDD health, performance degradations, and failures.It gives a complete textual description, tips and displays/reports the most comprehensive information about the hard disks and solid-state disks inside the computer or in external enclosures (USB / e-SATA). Many different alerts and report options are available to ensure the maximum safety of your valuable data.The software monitors hard disk drive / HDD status, including health, temperature and all S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology, built in most hard disks and so... Read More
Conveyance Test
The Conveyance self test (if supported) performs manufacturer-specific test steps. This usually verifies the mechanical parts of the hard disk to ensure that no handling damage occurred. This test took 2mn on my drive.
Random Seek Test
This test verifies the noise level, track-to-track seek time and temperature levels of the drive, especially under excessive disk usage.
The test is especially useful after changing the acoustic level to verify how the modified setting affects the noise and seek time. This verification can be done by a short (quick) test.
Surface Test
The last and most intrusive test, the surface of the hard disk can be examined with various methods. Some of these methods are safe for the stored data but others are destructive: the stored information are permanently erased during the test operation, so be careful while doing it.
