DriveDx is advanced drive health diagnostic and monitoring utility. Save yourself the data loss and downtime that is associated with unexpected drive failures. Don’t worry about losing your important data, music, and photographs.
Unlike most drive utilities, DriveDx does not only monitor the drive’s built-in S.M.A.R.T. status, but also analyzes the changes of all drive health indicators that are closely related to SSD or HDD failures (like SSD wear out / endurance, reallocated bad sectors, offline bad sectors, pending sectors, I/O errors and more) and alerts the user immediately if anything goes wrong. Our drive health diagnostics algorithms are based on the recent researches in this field. The application provides access to all sufficient drive diagnostic data to satisfy any system administrator. DriveDx is the first utility of its kind to have a real user-friendly Mac-style interface.
Key features:
support of modern SSDs and HDDs
real-time SSD/HDD health status monitoring
pre-failure state early detection - DriveDx supports 3 drive health statuses: Ok, Failing (pre-failure) and Failed. (Most of drive utilities support only “Ok” and “Failed”)
drive failure prediction based on health indicators that are closely related to SSD or HDD failures
multi-tier warning system that will inform the user about deviations from the normal state of drive attributes
drive overall health rating
drive overall performance rating (if drive supports this subset of indicators)
SSD lifetime left indicator
support of drive short and full (extended) self-tests
save drive(s) health report to file
automatic drive health reports by email (automatic email reports)
human-readable drive health indicators (attributes) representation
different routines for SSD and HDD health evaluation
drive temperature monitoring
drive free space monitoring
history-based drive health evaluation
S.M.A.R.T. error log
Growl notifications
user friendly and intuitive UI
Retina displays support
