所有电子设备都有有限的使用寿命，之后它们的寿命开始缩短。同样的事情也适用于计算机。如果您发现您的计算机经常挂起或死机、行为不正常或经常因停止错误^{(Stop Errors)}而崩溃， 那么您的计算机可能会面临迫在眉睫的危险。所有这些症状都代表机械或物理缺陷，并且是可能的硬盘故障^{(Hard Disk Failure)}的迹象。因此，您必须密切注意您的硬盘健康状况^{(Hard Disk health)}。

借助有效的工具定期监控硬盘，不仅可以防止潜在故障，还可以延长硬盘的使用寿命。今天，在这篇文章中，我们将介绍 3 个免费软件，它们将帮助您监控硬盘是否存在潜在故障，甚至在您听到“死亡之歌”之前。这些工具将有助于检查硬盘驱动器的健康状况、性能和温度。

监控^(Monitor)和检查硬盘健康^{(Check Hard Disk Health)}是否有故障

这里有一些免费软件可以监控和检查硬盘健康^{(Hard Disk Health)}是否有潜在故障：

1. 合格标志
2. Acronis Drive Monitor
3. 硬盘扫描
4. 希捷 SeaTools
5. 水晶圆盘标记
6. 高清调
7. Windows 表面扫描仪
8. 打开硬件监视器
9. 硬盘寿命
10. 硬盘专家
11. GSmartControl
12. IsMyHdOK。

让我们来看看它们。

1] 通行证

SMART（自我监控分析和报告技术^{(Reporting Technology)}）是一种计算机硬盘功能，可提供有关计算机硬盘可靠性的宝贵信息。PassMark DiskCheckup允许用户监控此SMART功能及其特定硬盘驱动器的属性。

这些属性随着时间的推移缓慢变化，因此有助于该工具估计特定驱动器的寿命。该工具通过长期监控变化来预测阈值超出条件，并将其显示在主窗口中。^{(Threshold Exceed Condition)}

与其他程序不同，这款适用于Windows^(Windows)的免费桌面应用程序体积非常小（仅 1 MB）。

提示^(TIP)：这篇文章将向您展示如何在 Windows 计算机上测试硬盘驱动器速度。

2] Acronis 驱动器监视器

Acronis Drive Monitor 可以帮助预测硬盘何时将发生故障，让您有机会备份数据并立即安排更换。

该程序要求您首先填写注册表，以下载免费的Acronis Drive Monitor。

该程序准备每周状态报告，在一份报告中显示所有驱动器的机电健康状况。除此之外，Acronis 论坛与其用户共享某些脚本，允许他们在不使用SMART 监控技术的情况下监控^{(S.M.A.R.T. monitoring technology)}RAID控制器。通知区域会显示与磁盘相关的警告。Acronis Drive Monitor需要 256 MB RAM空间。

3]硬盘扫描

HSS Scan是一款免费工具，用于诊断硬盘驱动器的健康状态（还支持RAID阵列、闪存 USB^{(Flash USB)}和SSD驱动器）。^(SSD)该程序最适合诊断硬盘驱动器的坏块和坏扇区并预测它们的退化。此外，它可以显示SMART。属性并更改一些硬盘^(HDD)参数，例如AAM，APM等。

HDD Scan 的存储^(Storage)设备测试（例如线性模式下的验证）有助于确定您的驱动器是否需要数据救援。该程序甚至具有命令^(Command)行支持。它是便携式的，因此不需要任何类型的安装。
