However, when the trusted hard drive suddenly fails, this is more than just a minor inconvenience. As a consequence, the data that is lost is often very damaging. Ashampoo HDD Control is therefore ideally suited to boost the performance of your drive, guard against disk failure and remove clutter from your hard drives, while performing all three functions of monitoring, maintenance and defragmentation. Monitoring: The software supports all commonly available IDE and serial ATA drives. Devices connected to the system via USB, firewire or RAID controller often do not support this function. Based on the type of drive in use, Ashampoo provides the user with all important facts and information, including the firmware version, cache size, number of configured partitions, drive space and current temperature. In the final report, the program also provides information on the health and performance of the hard drive. Maintenance: Over time, an ever-growing number of unwanted and unneeded files accumulate on your hard drive and Ashampoo HDD Control is a useful tool to help you locate and delete these files. Temporary files, files in the recycling bin and backup copies are all removed. In addition, the software empties the cache, clears the browsing history and erases cookies from the Internet browser. Defragmentation: With its defrag module, the program is able to read out file fragments and arrange these in one cluster on the hard drive to ensure rapid access. As a result, the hard drive needs to spin less while the performance remains unchanged. As an additional benefit, there is less demand placed on system resources. Proactive defragmentation uses the time when you are not working to measure the level of disk fragmentation. If it needs to be defragmented, the process is started automatically.Ashampoo HDD Control [DISCOUNT] main features:Basic functions:Information on serial numbers, firmware, cache, bad sectors on your hard disk(s)Background guard continuously monitors status, performance and temperatureIn-depth explanations and information on context-sensitive helpDisplays all current SMART files with detailed explanationsAble to export reports for support purposesFully configurable temperature monitoring available in Celsius and FahrenheitOption to automatically save all incidents in separate logSimple controls and GUI including color schemesEasy and automatic software updatesCleanup:Powerful, high-speed disk clean-upObjects found can be configured and managed in shortcut menusObjects found can be managed using intelligent filter mechanismsNew exception rules can be created manually or automaticallySupports the latest generation of browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera)Wide range of options to customize configuration to meet user requirementsHigh level of security thanks to years of experience and advanced cookie managementDefragmentation:High-quality defragmentation performed to latest standardsFully automatic ‘proactive’ defragmentation runs in backgroundDefragmentation algorithm with minimum impact on system performanceRange of defragmentation options (fast, normal, intelligent)Parallel defragmentation of all drives and/or partitionsComprehensive configuration and customization optionsMonitoringSelf-monitoring, analysis, status reports on imminent failuresEvaluation of health and performance status of your hard drive(s)Range of evaluation criteria available for customized configurationEmail alerts to notify user that condition of hard drive(s) has deteriorated and failure is imminentDirect link to Windows event logS.M.A.R.T. technology provides information on (if supported by drive):Number of hours in operation and start-up processesError rate during positioningStart/stop processes of drive headsNumber of parking sequences for write/read unitsDisk calibration attemptsReallocations (in event of bad disk sectors)Controller hard drive transfer rate (defective cable)And many moreTemperature display including early warning of overheatingBenchmark:Identifies all values required to evaluate the performance of your hard drive(s)Clearly structured GUI for performance evaluation (benchmark)Online database link for direct comparison of your results with other systemsClear presentation of information and values on:min./max. data transfer ratesaverage data transfer ratesaccess timesAshampoo HDD Control [DISCOUNT] requirements:At least a minimum of 128 MB RAM should be available on your system.10 MB hard disk space.Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher is required.Full administrative rights are required to use the program.Ashampoo HDD Control [DISCOUNT] limitations:10-day trial (expandable to 30)Nag screenWhat's new in Ashampoo HDD Control [DISCOUNT] : Added support for common solid state drivesImplemented some small optical adjustmentsFixed several minor problemsReasons why this program is marked as ad-supported:Offers to change the homepage for web browsers installed in the systemOffers to change the default search engine for web browsers installed in the systemOffers to download or install software or components (MyAshampoo Toolbar) that the program does not require to fully function
