Reliable hard drive check
CheckDrive checks the health of your hard drives to protect you from sudden data loss.
Supports all common hard drives
Many hundreds of thousands of HDD and SSD hard drives are already supported. CheckDrive also provides an assessment for more and more external storage media such as USB hard drives.
Advanced data analysis
CheckDrive Smart-Analyze-Diagnostics™️ uses the hard drive's S.M.A.R.T data to give you a detailed health analysis of your hard drives.
Already millions of data protected from loss
The popular program has been widely praised by the trade press and users, and has received several awards as a must-have tool for every PC.
Real-time security
CheckDrive has a unique background guard that monitors all storage media even in real time. This way, you are warned in time before a defect occurs.
Corrects hard disk errors
Advanced file system analysis checks and corrects file system errors to maintain file system integrity.
A first look
Find out what is the health status of your hard drives
The state of all hard disks at a glance – CheckDrive checks the computer's built-in hard drives and warns you of imminent danger.
Why hard disk health care is important?
Hard disks are wearing parts. That's why around 42 percent of users have already been affected by data loss. With a defective hard drive, all family photos and memories, but also important bank data can be gone in one fell swoop. Professional data recovery services can charge up to $1.000 for their services in such cases.
Protects against the potential death of the hard disk
Since a hard disk failure can happen at any time, you should install a monitoring system as soon as possible. The freeware CheckDrive analyzes all volumes and hard disks running in the Windows system and provides information about the health status of the respective hard disk and what to do next!
Doubly secured: errors can be corrected immediately
The popular CheckDrive as a "hard disk doctor" checks all hard disks in the system and looks for typical hard disk errors during a scan. Smaller errors in the file system CheckDrive fixes independently to ensure the file system integrity. With larger problems CheckDrive warns you. If the errors are not corrected in time, your PC can become unstable and crash more often. In the worst case, a hard disk failure is imminent - and with it, all stored data will be lost forever. But thanks to CheckDrive you are warned beforehand, which is why using the popular program increases the security of your own data. What about your data?
Only CheckDrive permanently monitors your hard drives
Only CheckDrive offers a background guard that permanently monitors your hard drives and immediately warns you if something is wrong. The new version CheckDrive allows you also to check your hard drives regularly at an interval of your choice. In the integrated task planner, it is possible to define the task and the interval - simply by mouse click. This gives you full control again.

What the press thinks of us
Fitness check for the hard disk
The Hard Drive Doctor examines your drives and warns you if data loss is imminent. [...] With the help of special analysis data, the failure of a hard disk can be predicted in many cases. If desired, the programme will regularly check your hard disk(s) and SSD drives for errors on its own and try to repair them if necessary.

Frequently asked questions
Do I still need a backup program when using CheckDrive?
A backup program is recommended in any case, since the analysis of CheckDrive is only an interpretation of the hard disk data and no guarantee can be given. In addition, sudden events such as lightning, overvoltage, fire or theft can also make the hard drive data inaccessible, which is why a backup program such as Abelssoft EasyBackup is recommended for protection.
Will I be protected by CheckDrive if my hard disk fails?
CheckDrive provides an overview of the health status of your hard disk based on calculations and hard disk data. For example, an increase in bad sectors may indicate that the hard disk will soon suffer a failure. The CheckDrive analysis is an interpretation of the data and therefore cannot be a guaranteed prediction. It is therefore always advisable to protect your own data against loss with a regular backup copy.
How does CheckDrive calculate the health of my hard disk?
CheckDrive uses the so-called S.M.A.R.T. data as well as other manufacturer data of the hard disks for the calculation and also displays these separately. The health status is therefore a product of the S.M.A.R.T. data, manufacturer information and a calculation algorithm.
Is CheckDrive also suitable for RAID systems?
CheckDrive is designed for standard household systems with hard disks and partitions. RAID systems are not supported. The use of CheckDrive in the case of already pre-damaged RAID systems can result in further damage.
