One of the most common reasons why you might lose valuable information stored on your computer is hard disk failure. In order to prevent this from happening, you can opt for an application that constantly informs you about the current state of your hard drives. For instance, you can try Hard Drive Inspector.
By using this program, you will permanently get informed about the temperature, error resistance and reliability percentage of any connected hard drive.
I personally liked the fact that the application can also address to advanced users, as it brings a separate interface where you can find a list of hard drive attributes, their state and, if necessary, warnings for upcoming errors.
Also, if you can't understand some of the offered information and you wish to ask for professional guidance, Hard Drive Inspector allows you to save the reports and use them later on.
What I considered to be a drawback while configuring its settings was the fact that the program didn't allow me to enter the time interval I needed for the hard drive reliability check (you can choose from preset values: 10, 20, 30, 60, 120, 300 and 600 minutes). The same thing goes for the temperature check.
Even though I believe that the application is a bit pricey considering its purpose, Hard Drive Inspector might prove to be very useful to prevent any hard drive problems, therefore, keeping your documents safe from harm.
