Drive Speedometer 1.1.0
Drive Speedometer 1.1.0 Drive Speedometer is a program I made to help monitor the current read and writes speeds of your hard drives. Benefits include: When your system is running slow yet your CPU usage and memory usage are fine, it is normally the hard drive being maxed out. Now you will be able to keep an eye on the hard drive performance. When a drive is slowly dying it will run slower and slower. Being aware of what your normal drive speeds are and seeing those speed drop over time is a great indicator it is time to replace the drive. Being a performance nut myself I like knowing what my system is doing. When I have a program doing some work and appears to be hung up I can see if it is still reading or writing to the drive. This way I know the program isn't hung up and is still working. The program uses the Windows performance counters to pull the information. If you have disabled your performance counters I have included a reg file in the setup to enable them again. Run the reg file and reboot. Your performance counters will be working again. I have also included some pre made bar fill graphics. Including some to use when running the monitor in compact mode. You can of course make your own as well.

GSmartControl v2.0.2
GSmartControl v2.0.2 👉 Hard disk and SSD health inspection tool using S.M.A.R.T. data. GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl (from smartmontools) that allows you to inspect the S.M.A.R.T. data of hard disk drives and solid-state drives to determine their health status. It supports ATA and SCSI devices and provides detailed drive information, attributes, error logs, and self-test results. GSmartControl enables you to run various self-tests, including short, extended, and conveyance tests, and displays the results in an easy-to-read format. It also provides drive identification information, capabilities, and statistics to help diagnose potential hardware issues before failure occurs. Features: • View detailed S.M.A.R.T. attributes and drive information • Perform short, extended, and conveyance self-tests • Automatic detection of ATA and SCSI devices • Display error logs and self-test logs • Advanced drive information and capability reporting • Cross-platform support Supported operating systems: • Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11 • macOS • Linux Supported languages: English Changes: v2.0.2 02-24-25 Support GCC 11 (and Ubuntu 22.04) by using and vendoring fmt library (#77). Support an option of saving smartctl output to text instead of JSON (#76). Restored pre-2.0.0 runtime support for smartctl < 7.3 (based on Text parser); this is an unsupported, old method without NVMe, provided for compatibility only (#77). Restored pre-2.0.0 support for standard (non-extended) self-test log found in very old ATA drives; the new JSON parser did not support this previously (#79). Better support for temperature values in JSON parser; this fixes unreasonably large temperature values (#78). Add a tooltip explaining self-test "lifetime hours" wrapping behavior (#73). Windows: Fixed a crash on Windows 7 when opening drive information by using Windows 7-compatible librsvg (#71). Windows: Avoid using non-integer font sizes. This download is for the Windows 64bit portable ...
