What is Hard Disk Sentinel?
Hard Disk Sentinel (HDSentinel) is a multi-OS SSD and HDD monitoring and analysis software. Its goal is to find, test, diagnose and repair hard disk drive problems, report and display SSD and HDD health, performance degradations and failures. Hard Disk Sentinel gives complete textual description, tips and displays/reports the most comprehensive information about the hard disks and solid state disks inside the computer and in external enclosures (USB hard disks / e-SATA hard disks). Many different alerts and report options are available to ensure maximum safety of your valuable data.
No need to use separate tools to verify internal hard disks, external hard disks, SSDs, hybrid disk drives (SSHD), disks in RAID arrays and Network Attached Storage (NAS) drives as these are all included in a single software. In addition Hard Disk Sentinel Pro detects and displays status and S.M.A.R.T. information about LTO tape drives and appropriate industrial (micro) SD cards and eMMC devices too.
Hard Disk Sentinel monitors hard disk drive / HDD status including health, temperature and all S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) values for all hard disks. Also it measures the disk transfer speed in real time which can be used as a benchmark or to detect possible hard disk failures, performance degradations.

Comments and Reviews
this is one of the best program for drive information, live monitoring and Testing. I have been using it for many years. [+] Rich with features. [+] Top level service support. [+] Storage information Database [+] portable Version.
My system was acting up and Hard Disk Sentinel showed very clearly that the Disk Drive was ready to go in 30 days. I AM glad that I found out before I lost data. Free version does have a point of annoyance though.. The default starts with Windows and then does a countdown making you wait before you can shut it off. You can change that setting under: Configuration..Preferences.
Great program for active drive monitoring, also includes benchmark and surface scans. Great price, includes family licenses
It's a great app to monitor your HDD or even SSD life
CrystalDiskInfo stopped enumerating my HDDs after a certain amount - HDS however works like a treat!
This is by far the most comprehensive tool i've come across for testing lots of hard drives, destructively or not. Keeping tabs of the ones I buy over time, and decommissioning ones that are obviously failing before they become truly trouble. There isn't anything else like it.
I love this app. It is lightweight, unobtrusive, information rich, and can be a big money-saver. It notified me of a drive having a small percentage of errors. No other utility I know will do this (as well as disk temperatures, etc.) Because I was warned I updated my backup of the disk (was not my boot or primary disk) and it failed soon after.
