HDDlife provides real-time monitoring of your hard drives. It immediately estimates the disk status and displays its health and temperature values. The tool smoothly works under Microsoft Windows Vista, supports USB hard disk monitoring and uses S.M.A.R.T. technology to make regular observations of disks health. It comes with data loss prevention, malfunction protection and power management features. HDDlife is an effective way to know about any potential failure of your hard drives to take measures in advance.

HDDlife is based upon S.M.A.R.T. technology and shows the information about all disk attributes in real time, including temperature. The advanced algorithms of HDDlife can notice the slightest change of the values, and, in case they exceed the threshold mark, the utility will immediately alert you about it. In the preventative mode, the program can run regular checkups to let you know about any difference in disk performance and consistency. Also you can send the HDD read\write indicator to the system tray to keep this information in view all the time.

Another power feature of HDDlife allows monitoring the status of USB hard disks just like any other ordinary hard drive. The utility currently supports external hard drives from IO-Data and Western Digital Passport. You will certainly appreciate that HDDlife lets you manually set the power consumption of your hard drives. It can reduce heat emission, improving the temperature status and allowing you to prolong the lifespan of a notebook.

The support of Microsoft Window Vista means that HDDlife satisfies the demands set forth by Microsoft in "Works on Windows Vista" certificate. Vista?s users will receive the fully-fledged program which will work smoothly and easily. What?s more, the improved registration process of HDDlife provides users with the most convenient registration experience. Use HDDlife to safeguard yourself against the loss of information stored on your hard drive.
