DiskCheckup PassMark Software

DiskCheckup is a disk monitoring tool designed to view and analyze SMART (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) attributes of hard disk drives. It provides detailed insights into drive health, performance, and potential failure risks by tracking critical metrics such as spin-up time, start/stop counts, power-on hours, and temperature.

Key Features:

• Real-time monitoring of SMART attributes with threshold alerts
• Predictive analysis for Threshold Exceed Conditions (TEC)
• Execution of built-in disk self-tests (Short and Extended Tests)
• Detection and adjustment of Host Protected Area (HPA) and Device Configuration Overlay (DCO)
• Comprehensive display of device information, including geometry, serial number, model, rotation rate, and supported features
• Real-time disk activity monitoring
• Customizable email notifications for threshold breaches
• Support for multiple languages through user-generated localization files

Ideal for system administrators, IT professionals, and users concerned with drive reliability, DiskCheckup empowers proactive maintenance to prevent data loss and ensure optimal hard disk performance. It is particularly useful for identifying early signs of drive degradation or failure.

System Requirements:

• Windows operating system
• Hard drives supporting SMART (SATA, USB, FireWire, PCIe M.2 NVMe)
• Note: Hardware RAID and SCSI controllers are not supported

DiskCheckup can be installed via winget, ensuring seamless integration into your system monitoring workflow. While it does not offer built-in data recovery tools, its predictive analytics help users take preventive measures before potential drive failures occur.

Disclaimer: DiskCheckup provides statistical predictions for drive lifespan, but actual failure dates may vary due to external factors and the limitations of SMART technology.
