Portable Hard Disk Sentinel Professional can be used to diagnose hard disk drive and SSD devices in any computer without installation or modification of any settings or files on the appropriate computer.
It can be effectively used from a pendrive (or other removable device) by system integrators and advanced users to periodically diagnose and test hard disk drives, however it does not provide real-time protection offered by the installed Hard Disk Sentinel Professional version.
Portable Hard Disk Sentinel Professional contains all tests, diagnostic functions, options and features of Hard Disk Sentinel Professional, except some functions applicable for the installed version only (automatically start with Windows, use in Service mode, configure data folder location).
The use of Portable Hard Disk Sentinel Professional requires a license for Hard Disk Sentinel Professional. To fully utilise both the installed version (to get real-time 7/24 protection) and the PORTABLE version (to diagnose hard disks in different systems), separate licenses or use of a Family license (with both versions) is required.
Limitations:
· 30 days trial
