Overview
CrystalDiskInfo is a hard drive health maintenance application that is designed to continually monitor HDD performance attributes and temperature levels. Through detailed analysis the software provides invaluable insight to the overall health of your hard drive, while also giving you the information needed to make appropriate repairs when necessary.
Installation
With a file size of a little more than 1.5 MB, CrystalDiskInfo is compact yet extremely powerful. This program is compatible with nearly all versions of Windows, from 2000 up, including 2003, 2008, XP, Vista, and 7. Before the installation process ends you may be asked whether you want to install a third-party toolbar. You don't have to check the box to install the additional software if you don't need it - to install CrystalDiskInfo; simply check “I do not want to install” and the installation will proceed.
Interface
The main window of the CrystalDiskInfo user interface is split into seven main submenus – file, edit, function, theme, desk, help, and language. Exiting the application must be done through the file menu. The function menu is where most of the real functionality lies, letting you refresh/auto refresh entire information menus or specific targets, rescan the hard drive, open the graph window, hide various statistics, and select your temperature type preference. The function menu also gives you access to disk management, device manager options, and health status settings, as well as a plethora of other advanced features.
