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 3.30 build 250
Pros: Review of product seems to indicate a solid program.
Cons: Program would not recognize / detect the hard drive in my computer! Not sure what the problem is, but could not get the program to work at all. Running Vista Home Premium 32-bit, SP2.
Summary: Just wish I could have gotten this program to work. I do not doubt the valuable information that this program provides, but if it can't even detect the drive in my computer from the start, then nothing can be gained. Does state Vista compatible, b... read more >>
