Argus Monitor 7.3.1.3100 released

Published by

Argus Monitor version 7.3.1.3100 has been released, enhancing its capabilities for monitoring the health status of hard disks. This software operates quietly in the background, providing continuous surveillance of hard disk health through S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) attributes. Users will receive alerts if any critical S.M.A.R.T. values change, especially if an attribute hits a vendor-specified threshold, indicating that the drive may fail within the next 24 hours. Moreover, Argus Monitor retains the S.M.A.R.T. status of all drives, including those connected intermittently, allowing it to alert users about declining health even if the drive was previously attached to another system.

Key features of Argus Monitor include:
- Continuous monitoring of hard drive temperature and health status by checking critical S.M.A.R.T. attributes.
- A warning system that can predict hard drive failure with up to 70% accuracy, giving users time to back up important data.
- Graphical displays for monitoring the temperatures of hard drives, GPUs, and CPUs, including individual core temperatures and core frequency for assessing power management efficiency.

In addition to its primary functionality, Argus Monitor is a valuable tool for maintaining system health and ensuring data security. Users can also explore related topics such as checking whether their hard drive is an SSD or HDD, utilizing Storage Sense for automatic junk file deletion in Windows 10 & 11, flushing the Windows DNS cache, understanding the differences between quick and full formatting, and troubleshooting issues with incorrect free space display on hard drives.

As technology evolves, it is crucial for users to have reliable monitoring tools like Argus Monitor to preemptively address potential hardware failures and protect their valuable data. Future updates could include enhanced predictive analytics and integration with cloud backup solutions to further safeguard user data
