HDD Observer for Windows

User Reviews

• It is just not what I expected.

  WmRobt.es11/17/2009

  Pros

  Easy to install and setup. Has not caused any known conflicts with other parts of this system.

  Cons

  It gives me the impression that I should replace all my hard disks. This is a new computer, less than a month old, and I have difficulty believing that the three, two internal S-ATAs and one external S-ATA.were used or that I have abused them at all.

  Summary

  I have not taken the time to look at other softwares in the same category but I do plan on removing HDD Observer 3.4.2 as soon as I can.

• Good utility - but nagware

  ninja66012/23/2007

  Pros

  Cool display/graphics - neat looking utility

  Cons

  Nagware - only gives 29 days to check out. Also annoying 'please register' display from tray icon when installed - hard to dismiss. Also installs extra baggage (2005 Microsoft C++ redistributable files.) If you like bells & whistles this is fun/pretty to look at. Otherwise can get same info from freeware utilities.

  Pros

  - Lots of information shown at the home screen. (Shows Performance, Health, Temperature, and General Status on one selected hard drive at a time) <p>- Easy to use <p>- Great Interface <p>- Has a Disk Defrag and Disk Cleaner <p>- Also has a Regestry Defrag and Regestry Cleaner <p>- Hard drive activity is shown by a dock icon (VERY bottom left of screen where time is) shown by a small purple disk; the faster it spins the more HDD activity is going on

  Cons

  - Only detects a maximum of two hard drives at a time <p>- Defrag activity is shown by a grid with different colored boxes representing different things however there is no key so you don't know what certain colors represent <p>- Reviews sounded like it had it's own version of a disk checking utility but it dosen't <p>- If HDD Observer says your hard drive has "Bad Health" ; there isn't really anything you can do about it (once again, has no disk checking utility)
