Apps to S.M.A.R.T. Data Analysis

Victoria is a specialized, albeit discontinued, portable application designed for in-depth hard disk drive analysis. It provides detailed S.M.A.R.T. data reports, performs surface scans to identify and potentially reallocate bad sectors, and offers performance metrics like read latency benchmarks. This tool is primarily intended for advanced users needing granular insights into their drive's health and performance.

MHDD is a classic freeware diagnostic tool for hard disk drives, supporting IDE, SATA, and SCSI interfaces. It provides low-level access for advanced analysis, surface scanning, S.M.A.R.T. monitoring, and bad sector management, making it a valuable utility for data recovery and drive health assessment.

GSmartControl is a robust graphical interface for smartctl, empowering users to monitor, diagnose, and manage their hard drives and SSDs effectively. It provides a user-friendly way to access S.M.A.R.T. data, perform drive health checks, and track critical parameters like temperature and performance.

SpinRite is a powerful data recovery and disk maintenance utility for magnetic storage devices. It goes beyond typical tools by actively rehabilitating drive surfaces, recovering lost data, and providing detailed diagnostic information to prevent future failures.

CrystalDiskInfo is a vital utility for monitoring the health and performance of your valuable storage drives. It provides comprehensive information about your hard drives and solid-state drives (SSDs), leveraging S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) data to assess their condition and predict potential failures.
