Why hard disk health care is important?

Hard disks are wearing parts. That's why around 42 percent of users have already been affected by data loss. With a defective hard drive, all family photos and memories, but also important bank data can be gone in one fell swoop.

Professional data recovery services can charge up to $1.000 for their services in such cases.
Why hard disk health care is important?

Protects against the potential death of the hard disk

Since a hard disk failure can happen at any time, you should install a monitoring system as soon as possible.

The freeware CheckDrive analyzes all volumes and hard disks running in the Windows system and provides information about the health status of the respective hard disk and what to do next!
Protects against the potential death of the hard disk

Doubly secured: errors can be corrected immediately

The popular CheckDrive as a "hard disk doctor" checks all hard disks in the system and looks for typical hard disk errors during a scan.

Smaller errors in the file system CheckDrive fixes independently to ensure the file system integrity. With larger problems CheckDrive warns you. If the errors are not corrected in time, your PC can become unstable and crash more often. In the worst case, a hard disk failure is imminent - and with it, all stored data will be lost forever.

But thanks to CheckDrive you are warned beforehand, which is why using the popular program increases the security of your own data. What about your data?
Doubly secured: errors can be corrected immediately

Only CheckDrive permanently monitors your hard drives

Only CheckDrive offers a background guard that permanently monitors your hard drives and immediately warns you if something is wrong.

The new version CheckDrive allows you also to check your hard drives regularly at an interval of your choice. In the integrated task planner, it is possible to define the task and the interval - simply by mouse click. This gives you full control again.

Fitness check for the hard disk

The Hard Drive Doctor examines your drives and warns you if data loss is imminent. [...] With the help of special analysis data, the failure of a hard disk can be predicted in many cases. If desired, the programme will regularly check your hard disk(s) and SSD drives for errors on its own and try to repair them if necessary.

Frequently asked questions

Do I still need a backup program when using CheckDrive?dropdown icon

A backup program is recommended in any case, since the analysis of CheckDrive is only an interpretation of the hard disk data and no guarantee can be given. In addition, sudden events such as lightning, overvoltage, fire or theft can also make the hard drive data inaccessible, which is why a backup program such as Abelssoft EasyBackup is recommended for protection.

Will I be protected by CheckDrive if my hard disk fails?dropdown icon

CheckDrive provides an overview of the health status of your hard disk based on calculations and hard disk data. For example, an increase in bad sectors may indicate that the hard disk will soon suffer a failure. The CheckDrive analysis is an interpretation of the data and therefore cannot be a guaranteed prediction. It is therefore always advisable to protect your own data against loss with a regular backup copy.

How does CheckDrive calculate the health of my hard disk?dropdown icon

CheckDrive uses the so-called S.M.A.R.T. data as well as other manufacturer data of the hard disks for the calculation and also displays these separately. The health status is therefore a product of the S.M.A.R.T. data, manufacturer information and a calculation algorithm.

Is CheckDrive also suitable for RAID systems?dropdown icon

CheckDrive is designed for standard household systems with hard disks and partitions. RAID systems are not supported. The use of CheckDrive in the case of already pre-damaged RAID systems can result in further damage.
