Default HDDlife - check the life of your HDD

Quote:
HDDlife is the protection of your personal information!

Your relatives' photos, your tourist videos, your diary and notebook, messages from friends, business information and documents - are you ready to lose it all at once?

All your data , everything you need both for your work and for your rest is stored on the hard drive of your computer even after it is switched off . It is the hard drive , not the processor , of your computer that really matters to you because if it breaks down , all your data – both personal and business – will be permanently lost.

Knowing about a possible failure in the work of your hard drive means having time to prevent all your data from being lost . HDDlife is a usable program that will allow you to control the health of your hard drive using an intuitive interface. Just run the program and it will show you the list of your disks with the percentage of their health left , as well as their temperature.

HDDlife can work in the preventative mode when it checks the health of your hard drives at regular intervals and informs you about the results of these checks in an unobtrusive way. If you get warned about a possible hard drive failure , you will protect yourself against losing your naturally priceless personal data.

Main features
• Controlling the health of your hard drives using the S. M. A. R. T. technology.
• Constantly monitoring the state of your hard drives in the background mode.
• Displaying the temperature of your hard drives.
• The full list of features.

No Sourabh...no software is worth relying 100%. I've been using Hard Drive Inspector (check this out, cody) from a couple of days, and it says that my Seagate 40GB is close to failure state (TOUCHWOOD), when my Samsung 20GB (which is 6 years old) is doing fine. A lot depends on the motherboard as well as the onboard HDD controller.

i don't think these softwares give accurate info. my hdd's 5 yrs old n this software says it's gonna brk soon. but i kno it will not till 1 more yr.

hdd's life, in addition 2 what gamefreak said, depends on how u use it n in what condition is it kept.

Talk about that! The Hard Drive Inspector declared this morning that my 4 months old Segate HDD is in near failure state!

What did I do?

I promptly uninstalled the piece of cr@p!

Look at HDDLife version 2.0.50 which has the following files and packers.............

File [Packer]
---- ------
HDDLife.exe [ASProtect 1.2x (Probably multiple packing with ASPack as well)]
Updater.exe [UPX]
CrashRpt.dll [Microsoft Visual C++ DLL Method 3]
dbghelp.dll [Microsoft Visual C++ DLL Method 3]
laRTLu.dll [Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 DLL]
mfc70.dll [Microsoft Visual C++ DLL Method 3]
mfc70u.dll [Microsoft Visual C++ DLL Method 3]
msvcr70.dll [Neolite 2.0]
zlib.dll [Microsoft Visual C++ DLL Method 4]

Man............... Moreover, the serial should be activated online........... This program is too secure to be cracked........... Man...........
