CrystalDiskInfo gives you a complete readout of all your computer’s SMART information, as well as a current temperature and health status. From its dashboard, you can quickly see a long list of up-to-date system data, so you know when things are going well, and if it seems like something is going wrong.

Pros

Alerts and options:You can configure the program to send you Alerts in the event that there is a problem in one of the systems being monitored. You can turn on Sound Alerts or Mail Alerts, and you can also adjust how frequently the program refreshes its data. Other preference options include selecting how long the program waits to open after startup, and turning on or off the auto-detection feature.

Clear interface: This program provides a clear interface that makes it easy to find what you’re looking for. The computer’s Temperature and general Health Status are displayed prominently at the top, and the lower part of the interface includes a list of all the SMART information the program is gathering.

Cons

No explanations: Unless you already know what you’re looking at and what you’re looking for in this app, you’re not going to get much out of it. There is no Help feature to accompany the program, and there are no explanations for any of the data displayed.

Bottom Line

CrystalDiskInfo is a great, free option if you have a good level of computer knowledge and want to stay on top of what’s going on with your system at all times. The interface is clear and clean, and the multiple configuration options let you see exactly what you want, when you want.

Crystal Disk Info Portable is a fully portable version of a compact, free disk information utility. It displays a lot of information, including SMART data for compatible disks, firmware version, RPM, power on count and hours, and even advanced options such as Automatic Acoustic Management/Advanced Power Management (AAM/APM) settings.

Crystal Disk Info’s properties-like interface opened with our selected drive’s name, model number, and capacity in gigabytes prominently displayed. A large, color-coded Health Status display indicated our PC’s health was Good, while a similar window below it displayed the drive’s temperature in Celsius, the cool blue color indicating at a glance that all was well. A ribbon along the top of the interface displayed all our system’s disk drives with their color-coded status, temperature, and drive letter. Clicking a small arrow in the corner of these entries called up that drive’s information in the main view. We clicked the Graph button on the Function menu, which opened an interesting feature that creates graphs displaying disk information via a tool called Flot. A drop-down list let us select from nine Actual (Raw) Value entries like Reallocated Sectors Count and more than 30 Normalized (Current) Value entries like Write Error Rate. The program is skinnable, offers auto detection and debugging options, and can open the Device Manager and Disk Manager from its Function Menu.

We like Crystal Disk Info as a program. However, there’s a serious issue with the Help file, which is in the CHM format and would not open in either Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate because of a known (notorious, actually) issue. It’s Microsoft’s fault, but it’s up to developers to make sure their programs work properly. You can search online for a fix, which may help you in your individual circumstances, or you can go to the Crystal Dew Web site and view the manual online. What you cannot do is click Help on the interface and open the Help file, and we can’t recommend Crystal Disk Info Portable until you can.
