The current test results can be displayed with this function. The QUICK ERASE option writes zeros to the first and last million sectors and the FULL ERASE option writes zeros to the entire drive and may take hours to complete (depending on the drive size and system performance). This option can be used to erase operating systems and file systems. This is a non-destructive test except when the repair function is selected when bad sectors are detected. The performance of the computer also affects the test time. The Quick Test option may not be available on earlier IDE drives, SCSI drives, and external drives.įor most computers, the WinDLG Extended Test requires between 30 minutes to multiple hours to test one drive.

For maximum confidence, the Extended Test is recommended. The Quick Test can determine with a high level of confidence that a drive is defect-free in a short amount of time. The Quick Test is designed to intelligently gather and verify all of the Data Lifeguard information contained on the drive. If any errors are logged or found, it provides an option to return the drive to defect-free status through the Extended Test repair option. Users of HWMonitor gave it a rating of 3 out of 5 stars.By accessing the Data Lifeguard information stored on the hard drive, the program is able to quickly and efficiently verify the status of the drive. HWMonitor runs on the following operating systems: Windows. The most prevalent version is 1.41, which is used by 28 % of all installations. It was initially added to our database on. The latest version of HWMonitor is 1.45, released on. It was checked for updates 1,916 times by the users of our client application UpdateStar during the last month. HWMonitor is a Freeware software in the category System Utilities developed by CPUID.

Special hardware monitors such as abit® uGuru and Gigabyte® ODIN™ power supplies serie are supported too.

In addition, it can read modern CPUs on-die core thermal sensors, as well has hard drives temperature via S.M.A.R.T, and video card GPU temperature. The program handles the most common sensor chips, like ITE® IT87 series, most Winbond® ICs, and others. HWMonitor is a hardware monitoring program that reads PC systems main health sensors : voltages, temperatures, fans speed.
