CrystalDiskInfo is a free tool that reads SMART data from hard drives and SSDs to show health status, temperature and total power-on time. It gives an early warning when a drive begins to fail, so you can back up data before disaster strikes.
After installation, open the app and look at the health status colour for each drive. A Caution or Bad status is a signal to back up immediately and plan a replacement, because a failing drive can stop working without much notice.
Quick Tips
- Check the temperature if your laptop feels hot.
- Look at reallocated sectors on traditional hard drives.
- Keep regular backups regardless of the status shown.
Best for owners of older PCs and laptops who want early warning about failing drives. Before installing CrystalDiskInfo, close other programs, save open work and make sure Windows 11 is fully updated.
Before you run any installer, make sure the address in your browser matches the official site, and let your antivirus scan the file.
