    Active Hard Disk Monitor includes a powerful disk scanning feature that can identify and display bad sectors on the disk surface. By detecting these bad sectors early, the software helps you take preventative action to avoid data loss or corruption.
  • Temperature Monitoring with Graphical History:
    Temperature is a critical factor in hard disk health. The program continuously monitors the temperature of your disks, records the data, and displays it in a graphical format. This historical temperature graph allows you to track changes over time and detect any unusual spikes that could indicate a problem.
  • E-mail and Pop-up Notifications:
    Stay informed about your disk's condition with automatic e-mail or pop-up notifications. If the software detects a critical condition, such as an increase in bad sectors or a temperature rise, it will immediately notify you, allowing for swift action.
  • Remote Monitoring:
    For those managing multiple computers, Active Hard Disk Monitor offers remote monitoring capabilities. This feature enables you to monitor disk health on remote computers within a local or global network, providing centralized control and management.
  • Simple and Intuitive User Interface:
    The software's user interface is designed for ease of use, making hard disk monitoring a straightforward task even for those who may not be technically inclined. The clean and organized layout ensures that all essential information is easily accessible.
  • Automatic Startup:
    Active Hard Disk Monitor can be set to launch automatically at Windows startup. Once activated, it runs quietly in the background, continuously monitoring your disks without requiring any manual intervention.
  • Event Logs and Detailed Reports:
    The program generates detailed event logs and S.M.A.R.T. reports, providing in-depth information about disk activity over time. These reports are invaluable for troubleshooting and ensuring the ongoing health of your storage devices.

Active Hard Disk Monitor is an essential tool for anyone who relies on their computer's storage devices. Its comprehensive monitoring capabilities, combined with its user-friendly interface and advanced features like remote monitoring and detailed reporting, make it an indispensable tool for both home users and IT professionals.
