I was not the kind of guy that was very worried about disk failures, until the day I lost a complete set of photographs (I am a photographer) that was stored in one external WD, so I lost precious work. Hard Disk Sentinel Professional supports IDE, SATA, SSD and SCSI drives. Other features include daily status reports, disk space monitoring, integrated backup with CD/DVD burning, run as service option and more. In addition to monitoring and alerting, Hard Disk Sentinel also keeps an eye on your disk performance with real-time disk usage and transfer speed graphs. The program can even perform automatic file backups, copying your important data to a different drive if a problem is found. You can configure email and sound alerts as well as automatic system shutdown when certain criteria are met. Using this data it can predict possible disk failures and alert you of these conditions before they can become a serious problem.

Hard Disk Sentinel Professional automatically monitors your hard disk status, health and performance, including temperature and S.M.A.R.T. Monitor hard drive health and performance
