Thank you for posting this, I used to use an older version years ago on my homemade NAS, grabbed a copy for my current computer!

the alerts were particularly useful especially if you need the uptime

Sorry I had a typo. Install an OS and only use it as a virtual host. Then virtualize the primary computer youd like to use daily. The underlying (host) OS can be used to monitor performance and hardware metrics. The VM can be replayed fresh from a template in a matter of seconds. So if you do choose to swap OS or redeploy it'll be a simple and fast process
Plenty of scenarios where this is no good, especially if certain GPU functions are desired. But I mostly agree for basic users where 90% of things are done in a browser.

Then get a pro version of Windows and use HyperV.

Sandboxie also went freeware after it was discontinued, but it has a lot of shortcomings and a dated interface.

For those suggesting Crystal Disk, thats fine and all but this provides real time monitoring of hard disks plus more advanced hard drive analysis tools that are way better at detecting failing drives. Free software like Crystal Disk only provides current SMART data, not any disk scanning features HD Sentinel offers. This is a great piece of software.

I'd suggest instead use

1) CrystalDiskInfo -- for disk information e.g. S.M.A.R.T, SSD wear info.
2) CrystalDiskMark -- for disk performance testing.

They're free.

I recommend the PRO family license for more $$$$. I have found it worth it.

I'd agree with this. HD Sentinel is the only program that showed ominous failure information on a perfectly good disk .That's part of the reason I uninstalled it.
Yes for looking at smart data those are great and I use them all the time. Hard drive sentinel always runs on your system and always monitors your smart data. I have it running on a file server running windows 10 and it's monitoring the health of my SSD boot drive and 4 spinning hard drives.
