The application provides access to all sufficient drive diagnostic data to satisfy any system administrator. Our drive health diagnostics algorithms are based on the recent researches in this field. status, but also analyzes the changes of all drive health indicators that are closely related to SSD or HDD failures (like SSD wear out / endurance, reallocated bad sectors, offline bad sectors, pending sectors, I/O errors and more) and alerts the user immediately if anything goes wrong. Unlike most drive utilities, DriveDx does not only monitor the drive’s built-in S.M.A.R.T. Don’t worry about losing your important data, music, and photographs. Save yourself the data loss and downtime that is associated with unexpected drive failures. DriveDx presents other information it gathers or the results of its analysis in a similar fashion.DriveDx is advanced drive health diagnostic and monitoring utility. You can also find out some peculiar and interesting data points, like how often a drive has been powered up and down (whether an internal drive that might be powered down to preserve battery life or an external one you switch on or off), Health status The label or status on nearly every item can be clicked to bring up detailed information about the property. If there are errors that need to be addressed or the drive is failing, the software summarizes the problems and offers a Diagnosis button that, when clicked, explains each error and how bad it is. This can be as severe as “there is a high probability that drive will fail soon,” along with advice like “Backup your data immediately!” IDGĭriveDx details the severe efforts on a failing external drive. If you’re actively concerned about drive health, the app can be kept running in the background, and a system menu bar item reveals current drive health status. You can also configure email alerts, if it’s running and you’re away from your Mac. It also monitors available free space to alert you before a drive is full. In my iMac’s nearly two years of use with a 28GB SSD and a 1TB HDD, DriveDx calculates that it’s already gone through 10 percent of its expected lifetime. If this keeps up, the drive should far outlast my Mac. However, some users find their particular data patterns put more pressure on SSD writing, and may have just a few years left on a relatively new machine. While most modern Macs can’t have their SSDs swapped out, at least you’d be able to be forewarned as the potential end of life approached. To use DriveDx with external drives, you have to install an included driver. A hardware driver is rare for any modern Mac software, but necessary to access the S.M.A.R.T. Data as Apple doesn’t provide another path, according to the developer. ![]()
