Original Press Release:



Keep Your Hard Drive Healthy with ActiveSMART



Leading 'smart technology' software designer Ariolic Software, Ltd. has released a new version of real-time hard drive health monitor to monitor the status of your hard-drive. ActiveSMART is designed to track and anticipate problems before they occur allowing early correction and avoiding hard drive failure and data loss.

While we all know how important it is to back up our hard drive, in today's high-pressured environment it can be tough to find the time. When was the last time you backed up your work and how much data do you think you would lose if an unexpected error occurred? Unfortunately, our computers rarely give us warning before they fail. With ActiveSMART, this is no longer an issue. You can check the age of your hard drive, how many read or write errors it collected, change the hard drive power mode or noise level and much more. You can even monitor through a USB interface using the ActiveSMART for USB hard drives application.

ActiveSMART utilizes S.M.A.R.T technology to track the status of computer hard disks. S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a special program inside the disk that constantly tracks the condition of a range of the vital parameters: driver, disk heads, surface state, electronics, and more. As soon as the state of the hard disk changes, the S.M.A.R.T system will notify you. As the condition of the disk declines, S.M.A.R.T will continue to notify you. By installing ActiveSMART, you will receive these notifications in time to save your data before the condition of the disk becomes unrecoverable. S.M.A.R.T. technology is able to predict up to 70% of all hard disk problems.

Key features of ActiveSMART include:

Realtime hard drive diagnostic
S.M.A.R.T. disks technology support
Alerts about hard drive health status changes Hard-drive temperature control to prevent disk overheating Hard drive Performance, Health, Temperature and Free Space indicators
