Stellar Drive Monitorsafeguards you from unwanted data loss situations. It keeps an eye on the health and performance of the hard disk and in most cases, alerts you before any data loss scenario occurs.
2. How many types of hard disks doStellar Drive Monitorsupport?
Disks supported:PATA/SATA disk, USB drives, SSD.
In the case of pen drives, Smart status information, the model number, and the serial number can not be seen.
3. What if the temperature, health, and performance of the hard disk are not displayed?
The problem is related to the hardware being analyzed (hard drive controller, port multiplier, etc.) or it’s the driver that may block the detection.
If you update the drivers of the disk controller, then it may help to resolve the issue. The user can also use a different version of Windows because of the different drivers available with a specific window.
4. Why hard disk temperature has a significant role to play in the working of a hard disk?
High-speed hard disks and their chassis can be very congested. Due to both these reasons, the disk heats up, and the working of the hard disk diminishes. Also, the reliability of the hard disk decreases.
WithStellar Drive Monitor, the user can keep track of the temperature of the hard disk and if required, can set the software to give the user a warning about the increase in the temperature above a specific limit.
5. Does the user have the facility of deducing out the bad sectors on the hard disk?
Yes, the user can deduce out the bad sectors with the help ofStellar Drive Monitor. The software analyzes every block containing the sectors, and by in-depth analysis, the software results out the bad sectors count.
Using the ”Scan Disk” module the user can deep scan the whole hard disk to find the number of bad sectors on the hard disk.
6. Why is it necessary to clone a hard disk?
Sometimes due to the frequent use of the disk, not shutting down the system and the number of bad sectors in the disk the proper working of the disk is hindered and also the data of the hard disk is lost. To avoid the improper working of the disk and to make the data safe it becomes compulsory to take the backup of the data. One of the solutions is to clone the hard drive.
Stellar Drive Monitorfacilitates the cloning of the hard disk to avoid the impending issues using the ”Clone Disk” module.
7. Can my target disk be smaller than the source disk?
No, the target disk should be greater in size as compared to the source disk. To know more refer ”Clone Disk” module.
