DriveSitter is a deluxe hard disk drive (IDE) diagnostic and background monitoring tool. Based on the well proven S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology), it constantly analyzes up to 30 health aspects per HDD and optionally displays its temperature in the system tray.

-- DriveSitter
reliably detects and forecasts up to 70% of all sudden HDD crashes before they occur: You will be alerted of unhealthy conditions and imminent HDD crashes by various notifications ranging from simple message boxes over emails and network messages to the execution of user-defined files. This will give you the chance to react on hazardous HDD crashes before they happen, thus giving you precious time to save your important data. It protects you from sudden data loss!
-- DriveSitter runs unnoticeable in the background and does not disturb you - even while playing state-of-the-art computer games. It uses scientific calculations that provide a minimum of false alarms for all forecasts.

Apart from that, DriveSitter provides a vast amount of information on HDD internals and partitions, displays progression graphics and reports advanced descriptive statistics on the recorded data. Almost every information about a hard disk drive and the health status can be exported to voluminous HTML or plain text reports.

-- DriveSitter features an automatic internet updater and very flexible options. The user interface is concise but elegant and the extensive program help is well structured with a handy searchable index.

The best for business: DriveSitter is the only S.M.A.R.T. diagnostic and monitoring tool that does not require administrative privileges on Windows NT4, 2000 or XP!



DriveSitter polls the S.M.A.R.T. HDD health status, up to 30 different HDD health related attributes and the HDD temperature on a regular basis and alerts you via message box, sound, network message or email of potential HDD failures before they happen. DriveSitter reliably forecasts up to 70% of all sudden HDD failures!

DriveSitter offers a lot of features - much more than we'll talk about right here:


>> S.M.A.R.T. attributes
DriveSitter polls up to 30 different HDD health related S.M.A.R.T. attributes per drive and shortly explains the meaning of most of the commonly known attributes. For every attribute, a manufacturer defined threshold, the worst observed value as well as 6 special descriptive flags are displayed.

>> Auto-Check
Automatically check the S.M.A.R.T. status, the S.M.A.R.T. attributes and the HDD temperature in regular intervals to forecast up to 70% of sudden HDD failures or setup DriveSitter to make a quick check on Windows start and exit immediately. Poll the HDD temperatures in independent, intelligent intervals.

>> Attribute Stock
DriveSitter manages up to 999 past S.M.A.R.T. attribute datasets for statistical analysis, descriptive statistical parameters (like mean, range, polling frequency) and graphical visualization. Stock data may also be exported for further analysis to easy-to-import tab-delimited format.

>> Volumes Info
Review information about your disk volumes like file system, capacity and free space with meaningful progress-style visualizations.
The volume information will be automatically updated on arrival or removement of a volume and whenever the amount of free space on a volume changes.

>> Raw Values
Raw S.M.A.R.T. attribute values can be interpreted for ease of use or displayed as raw hexadecimal values for advanced users.

>> Report it!
The content of any list output of DriveSitter can be copied to the Windows clipboard or be saved to a file - both either in easy-to-import tab-delimited format for further processing or as plain text. Moreover, the main output lists can be sorted by any column and even by the background percentage visualization bars.

>> Updater
Stay up to date! Always get the most recent version of DriveSitter by its build-in automatic, scheduled internet updater. Download and install updates by the means of few mouse clicks. If this is still too much, for example on unattended computer systems, the internet updater may be executed in a special "quiet" mode.

>> NoAdmin!
Run DriveSitter even on guest accounts to monitor your HDDs!
DriveSitter is the only S.M.A.R.T. diagnostic and monitoring application that does not need administrative privileges on Windows NT / 2000 / XP!

>> Diagnose at a Glance
Judge all S.M.A.R.T. attribute values at a glance by various selectable visualization modes of the actual S.M.A.R.T. attribute value in relation to its threshold.

>> Statistics
Display descriptive statistics of S.M.A.R.T. attributes (like mean, range) and advanced statistical details of T.E.C. calculation.

>> Alert Notifications
Execute various S.M.A.R.T. disk health alert notification actions:
• message box
• sound
• network messages
• emails
• execute programs
• shutdown / hibernate
All notification actions are separately configurable for each S.M.A.R.T. test and HDD.

>> Time Series
See how S.M.A.R.T. attribute values change over time by zoomable, impressive, meaningful time series graphics with threshold and estimated linear trendline.
If your HDD reports temperature, this graph additionally visualizes the raw temperature development.

>> Volumes of HDD
DriveSitter displays the volume letters of every device - so you'll know immediately which volumes are affected by an unhealthy HDD or an alert condition.
This unique feature is available on all supported Windows versions!

>> Autostart
Autostart DriveSitter with Windows to instantly protect your system. DriveSitter can be auto-started to the system tray or completely invisible.
Optionally, DriveSitter exits immediately after checking the health status of the HDDs and thus does not allocate any system resources.

>> Hidden or in Tray?
Setup DriveSitter to operate from the system tray or execute completely hidden to the users eyes. The user may neither notice the HDD monitoring, nor alert notifications like emails or network messages.

>> Status Reports
Create scaleable HTML or plain-text status reports. DriveSitter can create voluminous S.M.A.R.T. status reports in HTML or plain-text format with selectable content like S.M.A.R.T. attributes overview and the last test reports.
Moreover, pre-defined status reports can be automatically created to a remotely accessible file or on a network computer.
Placed on an internet server, the status reports can be monitored on the internet from all over the world.

>> HDD Temperature
Display and automatically check the HDD temperature for the life of your HDD and the sake of your data.
Graphically analyze how the HDD temperature evolves over time.
Display the HDD temperatures in the system tray.
Choose your favorite temperature unit out of the 5 commonly known scales.

>> Alert Logs
Log all alerts to a file on the local computer or in the network with automatic control for maximum filesize and attach the alert logfile to notification emails.
On Windows NT4 / 2000 / XP, alerts can additionally be logged to the one or more event logs. Multiple event logs of remote computers may also be used.
This is especially useful for companies as the system administrator can easily review the DriveSitter alerts of all computers in one central event log of e.g. a server.

>> Health Test
Setup various health tests for your HDDs to be automatically performed on the S.M.A.R.T. data:
• overall health status test
• device temperature test
• attribute limits test
• T.E.C. test
All health tests are separately configurable for each HDD.

>> Volume Details
Display additional details about the volumes known by the current operating system.

>> T.E.C. Estimation
Statistically analyze up to 999 datasets to provide most reliable estimation of Threshold Exceeded Condition dates while simultaneously minimizing false alarms. Various simple and advanced user options like most remote forecast date (simple) or level of significance of correlation (advanced).
The unique feature of configurable T.E.C. alert thresholds make the T.E.C. estimation of DriveSitter even more powerful and prevents false alarms for attributes with high variation.
