Can you tell me how many hours your hard disk or Solid State Disk has been running and how many times it has been powered on since you started using it in your computer ? My Samsung 1 TB hard drive was powered on 106 times and active for 814 hours since I build my new computer a few months ago.

How I know that ? I looked it up in the software Crystal Disk Info. This software basically displays all kind of information about hard drives and Sol

id State Disks and two that are not displayed in every other of that type are the two I mentioned above.


It does display all the usual information as well. Begins with the hard disk temperature, serial number, transfer mode, drive letters and supported features among other parameters. Two of the aforementioned parameters are worth a closer look if you are experiencing crashes or slow downs.


The temperature of the hard drive can be a cause for system crashes. It if goes to high it can lead to data loss and errors. The transfer mode can be interesting if you think that your hard drive is not as fast as it should be. Check the supported transfer modes of your drive and compare them to the one that is currently being used for it. It might very well be that it’s not the fastest available.

Crystal Disk Info is a portable application

that is compatible to Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows Server 2003 / 2008.
