Stellar Smart 2.2.1

Stellar Smart is a utility that acts as an "early warning system" for pending hard disk problems. The system is based on Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T). The hard disks integrated controller works with various sensors to monitor various aspects of the drives / disks performance and determines from this information if the disk is behaving normally or not. File system data structures of a drive have suffered serious corruption or overwriting and data recovery software cannot scan such drives.
Stellar Smart is a software that allows you monitor your hard drive performance.
The fundamental principle behind S.M.A.R.T is that many problems with hard disks dont occur suddenly. They result from a slow degradation of various mechanical or electronic components. The hard disks parameters usually exhibit a gradual, detectable decline in performance and it is when a parameter value approaches its safety limit that the Stellar Smart issues a warning.
Main features:
- Runs constantly in the background, thereby providing real-time information about the condition of the hard drive / disk(s).
- Provides standard hard disk information such as Serial/Model Number, Number of cylinders, and so on.
- Provides information on various hard disk attributes and also displays their fitness level.
- Able to scan and display bad sectors on hard disk(s).
- Scheduler to configure software parameters such as Temperature Warning, Temperature Update, and Log Scheduling.
- Maintains log reports of disk scans, disk status.
- Can clone hard disks (that is, it can paste the contents of a potentially fatal disk onto a healthy disk).
- Provides graphical comparison of temperature fluctuations in relation to warning / shutdown levels.
- Displays real time Benchmark; graph showing the Hard Disk data transfer rate and CPU usage.
- Can test any IDE/SATA disk.
- Simple and easy to use, with no loss in system performance
