Hardware Drive Inspector is a dash board for your hard drive.
First, it monitors your hard drive state in order to avoid crashes, which means that it informs you about upcoming disk failures before they become serious. Therefore, it improves data backup so that they cannot be lost. It gives other information such as the model, size of cache memory, other information and even SMART information. There are 2 methods to use it: either when starting up Windows (if it does not detect any problem it stops automatically) or permanent mode and it functions like a dashboard.
