Acronis Drive Monitor is a free, downloadable software application developed by Acronis to monitor server, workstation and PC hard disk drives. We all depend on instant access to data stored on our hard drives - buried inside PC laptops, workstations and servers - but those disks are vulnerable to severe failures that can cause you to lose business and personal data. Acronis Drive Monitor alerts you to problems that may indicate an imminent failure so you can be prepared to handle it without data loss. Acronis Drive Monitor gives users extra time to react in order to save data contained on disk devices and to arrange for their replacements. When Acronis Drive Monitor sees a problem, it immediately generates an email or onscreen alert describing the specific finding. Context-sensitive help explains what the alerts mean. Weekly reports summarize the electromechanical health of all the disks under Acronis Drive Monitor management.

Pros
Does monitor the hard drives as promised.
Cons
Slows my computer right down if I have 2 or 3 browser windows open the page regularly freezes and it takes 5 to 10 seconds for it to unfreeze.
Summary
While it does monitor the drives as it says I ended up uninstalling it as I got fed up of the constant page freezing, I did reinstall it again a few days later to check it was definitely this programme and it was.
Admittedly my computer is a few years old now but that is why I was after a drive monitor to check everything was ok.
Pity really because I think the programme looks good.
