Hard Drive Inspector 能在背景監控硬碟的運作，在硬碟可能發生問題前警告你，讓你確保資料萬無一失。
硬碟是系統上眾多資料的儲存地，但硬碟卻是非常脆弱的儲存裝置，較大的震動、高溫和老化都會造成硬碟壽命減短，導致資料一去不回。要如何避免資料損毀帶來的損失？除了養成定期備份的好習慣外，就得靠像Hard Drive Inspector這樣的硬碟監控軟體來隨時掌握硬碟健康情形。
Hard Drive Inspector是個相當直覺又好用的硬碟監控軟體。安裝好後會常駐在系統，並在Windows右下角系統列中以圖示顯示目前硬碟的溫度。當硬碟溫度過高、轉速不正常等異常狀況出現時，Hard Drive Inspector就會發出警訊，這時你就得提高警覺，趕快進行備份了。
Hard Drive Inspector能監控的硬碟運作參數相當多，但介面卻很直覺簡單。只要你的硬碟支援SMART功能（大多數最近四五年內的硬碟都支援），而且不是用USB或1394連接電腦，Hard Drive Inspector就可以仔細監控。
Hard Drive Inspector is a powerful, effective and easy-to-use program that monitors hard drive health. The value of information stored on an average computer hard drive often exceeds the value of the computer itself. But a hard drive is one of the most unreliable internal computer devices. When it crashes (which happens quite frequently), the stored information will be lost fully or partially. Subsequent information recovery is either not possible at all, or constitutes a very sophisticated and expensive procedure that can be performed only by specialists.
Modern hard drives support S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) that was specially developed to detect upcoming disk failures. Using this technology Hard Drive Inspector can monitor the current state of various life-critical parameters describing a disk's reliability and performance. Hard Drive Inspector analyzes this data and warns the user if the parameters indicate a critical reduction of disk reliability. Timely alerts make it possible to copy the data and replace an unreliable disk, thus preventing information loss. 載點資訊
