Just saw this on OzBargain and downloaded myself, seems to be a very highly rated piece of software which tells you if your hard drive is about to fail so you can backup before it does.

Hello OzB'ers
As an IT professional, I have been using this software for years. I wish every computer had this installed. I've installed it over thousands of machines, personal & corporate.
The number one thing that fails in a computer or cause of slowness is the hard drive. (IMO, strictly speaking about hardware)
PREVENT DATA LOSS!!! This program will tell you your hard drive is about to die, before it goes, before you lose all your data.
This will tell you how healthy your Hard drive is and will help you predict failure if/when your hard drive is failing. It works for traditional hard drives and SSDs. Has internal testing routines to really test your hard drive.
Detect and report the status of hard disks, SSDs, SSHDs with the award winning disk monitoring software!
The software can be used for unlimited time with all functions.
1-computer lifetime license, for noncommercial use with no technical support and with no updates: when updated to future version, switches back to unregistered version.
Not affiliated, just a happy customer.
Have to agree with 'Hamster'. I use an older version, 4.4 Pro, and it is great!
