CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on March 02, 2009
Hard Drive Inspector Professional keeps all of your system's attributes and hard disk health information in one, nicely wrapped package. However, we found a minor discrepancy with the information it provided us.
The user interface is beautifully designed, with large command buttons at the top for saving and sending data reports, and configuration options. Tabs organized the diagnostic information into three categories: Health Summary, Technical Info, and S.M.A.R.T. Details. From the Health Summary window, we got a brief summary of the amount of available space left on our hard disks, our disk model, and the temperature; although the temperature given on the main interface did not match the temperature given on our taskbar. But beyond that, we were able to view, in detail, our hard disk information, including serial, model, and firmware numbers, as well as logical and physical geometry info. The S.M.A.R.T. Details listed our system's attributes, along with their current stages, values, and flags.
The Help file does offer more detailed explanations of the program's features, so you don't have to be an expert to know how to read the information it provides. Though we would have liked to have seen a trial period longer than 14 days, we still recommend this program as a worthy diagnostic tool.

Version: Hard Drive Inspector Professional 2.9 build 467
"Works, but provides little tech info on drives."
Pros: Runs without crashing or crashing XP.
Cons: Does not provide much in the way of tech info on the drives, their performance, etc. HD Tune Pro is a MUCH better product for this application.

Version: Hard Drive Inspector Professional 2.9 build 467
"Doesn't work on my Vista machine"
Pros: Seems like a good idea, but doesn't work.
Cons: This software didn't recognize even 1 of my hard drives. The Support site is next to useless. There is not even one post on the forum page. Hopefully this software will work for someone else.

Version: Hard Drive Inspector Professional 2.9 build 467
Pros: Works just like it says it does. Also works in Vista. I guess some people have problems and some people don't.
Cons: The price.
