The program measures operation time for each block. In Verify mode device reads block of data into drive's internal buffer only and checks for consistency, there is no data transfer through an interface connector/cable.Verify test may work in unreliable way on USB/Flash devices.Verify test may have restrictions on Block Size with 256, 16384 or 65536 sectors because of Windows limitations.Author wasn't able to get stable test results with two or more simultaneous tests. The program should not be run from a read-only device/media.Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2003 (with restrictions), Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10.Spindle start/stop function on ATA/SATA/USB/FireWire/SCSI HDD.Reporting defect information on SCSI HDD.Changing AAM, APM, PM parameters on ATA/SATA/USB/FireWire HDD.Reading and analyzing identity information from ATA/SATA/USB/FireWire/SCSI HDD.Temperature monitor for ATA/SATA/USB/FireWire/SCSI HDD. SMART tests running on ATA/SATA/USB/FireWire HDD.Reading and analyzing Log Pages from SCSI HDD.Reading and analyzing SMART parameters from ATA/SATA/USB/FireWire HDD.Reading in Butterfly mode (synthetic random read).Reading in linear mode – same as verification but also transfers data to the host.Verification in linear mode – fastest way to determine if your drive needs data rescue, has recoverable errors or in its perfect shape.USB Flash (pen drives) – surface tests only.RAID volumes made of ATA (IDE) / SATA / SCSI HDDs (surface tests only).FireWire or IEEE 1394 HDD (see Appendix A).External USB drives and all major USB boxes (see Appendix A).completely redesigned tray icon handling: better sort/move/order tray icons under Windows 7, 8.updated Help to cover new functions, features.improved WRITE testing (Surface test -> Write test, Write+Read, Reinitialise disk surface) to prevent "access denied" error.displaying lifetime writes of hard disks on main overview page (if supported, for example new Seagate and WD Black drives).displaying custom configured temperature thresholds on Temperature page.display TRIM status in addition to complete health / temperature / status for NVMe / M.2 SSDs.detection and reporting new ATA standards and new ATA / Serial ATA features on Information page: Device sleep (DevSleep), Service interrupt, Device encrypts all data, IDLE IMMEDIATE, Nominal form factor, NCQ Streaming and autosense, Rebuild assist, Hybrid information.added SSD features (Read Zeroes After Trim) and security features (Sanitize, Overwrite, Crypto scramble, Block erase etc.) to Information page and reports.display if Configuration -> Disk Control -> Disable detection of USB and SCSI drives checked and blocking detection.By this option, Hard Disk Sentinel Pro detects if Windows saves errors/warnings to SYSTEM event log and report recent problems detected while Hard Disk Sentinel is running/monitoring and use them in calculation of health to show issues, degradations (registered Pro version) added Configuration -> Advanced Options -> Monitor Windows Event Log for problems related to disks and storage subsystem.added option to monitor NAS boxes, hard disks used with Network Attached Storage devices.
