Original Press Release:
Optimal Hard Drive Health - HDDlife
Using a computer without software that monitors hard drives is like playing Russian Roulette with all the chambers loaded. When drives do not run at optimum level, you can be faced with hardware failures and data loss. HDDlife from BinarySense provides you with an "early-warning" system to inform you of hard drive threats in advance.
BinarySense today announces the immediate availability of HDDlife Pro and HDDlife for Notebooks, which are offered in a single bundle, priced at $59 ($19 off). Bringing to life the concept of an "early-warning system", HDDlife helps users to anticipate hardware failures before they happen and cause data loss. Its various sensors monitor many parameters of the drive's performance. Based on this information, HDDlife determine if a disk is behaving normally or not. In the latter case, an immediate warning of an impending problem is displayed.
What's Unique in HDDlife?
HDDlife looks nothing like a typical hard disk diagnostic and monitoring system thanks to the use of such technologies as JustNow(TM) and AnywhereView(TM). JustNow(TM) is a totally new technology that provides instant information on the health and performance rate of drives. There is no need for long preliminary disk monitoring! Another proprietary technology from BinarySense is AnywhereView(TM). It allows you to peek at your drives state from any application. The icon that shows the drive health is displayed over an icon of a hard drive in all programs on your computer. This can be a hard drive icon in "My Computer" window or the "Open File" dialog of Microsoft Word or Notepad. The vital information will be before your eyes at all times.
HDDlife can run in the background, thereby providing real-time information on the condition of the hard disk drives. It has a small memory footprint and does not interrupt or slow down the performance of other applications. Additionally, you can use HDDlife to find out how long a hard drive has been in use (time displayed in years, months and hours). Users can also adjust the noise produced by hard drives. Too much noise may be disturbing, especially when working at night. Its adjustment doesn't slow down the productivity of the hard drives much, only up to 10-15%. For some drives (e.g. Maxtor) you can achieve an almost silent performance. HDDlife is great for network administrators who want to monitor the drives' health on networked computers remotely. HDDlife can be configured to send notifications on dangerous state of hard drives over a network (similar to "NET SEND...") or by email.
