CrystalDiskInfo provides quite a lot of information, here are some important information:

• Condition of “health” (Health Status): When running, your drive will be notified of one of four statuses. As follows:
  • Good (green background): the hard drive is in good condition
  • Caution (yellow background): Disc has problem
  • Bad (red background): The reader, motor is worn out, the disc surface is scratched, or many of the sectors are damaged.
  • Gray (gray background): Could not identify the “disease”.
• Temperature (Temperature): If below 49 degrees C is normal; from 50 – 55 degrees C, we should find a way to overcome such as adding a cooling fan inside the chassis …; If the temperature of the hard disk above 55 degrees C is a problem, maybe a part of the disk is subjected to great friction, the disc may “die” at any time.
• Firmware: Displays the version of the “pressed” core software (firmware) available in the hard drive, this software will be activated when there is power to control the hard drive, this process occurs before starting the operating system onions.
• Buffer Size: Indicates the capacity of the hard disk buffer. The job of this memory area is to store the most recently retrieved data from the hard disk. When a program needs to access data from the drive, it first checks in the cache to see if the data it needs is available. This mechanism increases the power and speed of the system.
• Information about SMART – Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology A technique that self-checks, analyzes and reports problems on a hard disk. When it detects signs of damage that could cause the hard drive to stop working, this feature will notify the user. Depending on the drive manufacturer, the technical information for SMART will be more or less and may vary. Normally, about 35 SMART features are provided, which helps detect about 60% of hard disk errors.
