(however, by default the software updates disk information regularly to follow the changes in status, especially temperature).įrank Stephens Actually, Hard Disk Sentinel appears to be spinning down some drives. If you set the status detection frequency (Configuration - Advanced options) to a value larger than the hard disk sleep timeout, things will work as expected.

(I suspect this is what you feel "not following the Windows Power Scheme".) HD Sentinel follows the Windows Power Scheme as does not wake up sleeping drives on periodic updates.īut to detect hard disk status information, the software regularly issues SMART command which (like a disk read/write command) may prevent the drive(s) from entering standby mode. Excuse me if these settings are different that you would prefer. Of course both can be disabled on Configuration - Preferences and Configuration - Disk Control pages, however according to the feedback of users, more users see the benefits of these default settings. HD Sentinel shows the disk status on Windows Explorer icons to reflect disk usage and health. HD Sentinel automatically starts with Windows (to keep the data protected and alert upon issues like other data protection software, eg.

Can you please describe what do you feel "changes so much behaviour"? Janos Mathe Thanks for your opinion and feedback. It would be great if you can help resolve my problem. I would be buying the HDD Sentinel software as I feel it is a great application. I look forward to the inclusion of this feature in the next revision of the software. Thus I think a feature to restore HDD factory capacity for an external HDD (Freeware "HDD Capacity Restore" can restore factory capacity only for internal HDD but many like myself use notebooks only nowadays) would be useful for many. In addition, many HDD show less than their factory capacity and we do not know it. I also understand that it is nowadays quite common for the newer big-size HDD to have similar problem when mishandled (shrinked capacity). The only way to restore to the factory capacity is to reset the firmware on the HDD (restore LPA48, HPA, DCO settings). No visible empty partition or unallocated space. It showed up it was just the e-SATA cable that was bad, after replacing it the disk also tested OK via e-SATA.īy cloning some OEM notebook HDD, the old HDD which contains the limiting HPA settings would shrink the bigger-sized new HDD to be the same size as the old HDD and the "loss" capacity would be completely invisible with any computer or software. I then ran the test again over the USB plug which has SMART support, and here it tested OK. During that test the drive was connected via the e-SATA plug, which has no SMART support. In general I don't trust WDs diagnostics program very much anymore, since it once reported one of my Studio drives having bad sectors and therefore should be replaced.

Unfortunately your program also says it's not enough to having the disk replaced, so I can only hope it breaks down at some point for these slow-downs are really annnoying. Great to know what's actually wrong with the disk, don't think i'd ever have figured it out without your program! I suspected it might be something like that, but WDs diagnostics program always reports everything is OK, and the problem is not mentioned under SMART info. Now I can see that the disk has 33 weak sectors which must be the cause of the problem. I've been having problems with a rather new WD disk for a long time, I/O operations regularly slow down to a few Kb/s for long periods and I haven't been able to pinpoint the problem.
