Ashampoo HDD Control provides an early warning system against imminent hard disk failure. This gives users time to back up precious files before a crash occurs. The program also analyzes S.M.A.R.T. data provided by modern hard disks to detect potential errors. The integrated history view allows users to predict future developments and take precautionary measures. Users can either view individual parameters such as temperature curves or the number of defective sectors or inspect the total running times of their drives, e.g. to locate potential overheating issues. Aside from monitoring the health states of your hard disks, the program also comes with various tools to maintain and declutter your drives. Finding and removing resource hogs and no longer needed files is fast and easy. Accidentally deleted files can be recovered with Undeleter, FileWiper helps users permanently erase sensitive data and Defrag optimizes hard disks for maximum performance and speed.
