πŸš€ DiskSentry v1.3.1 β€” first public release

A hacker-terminal-style native desktop app for Windows 10/11 that watches every drive you own β€” SSD, NVMe, HDD, external USB β€” in real time. 100% local, no telemetry, nothing leaves your machine.

πŸ“₯ Downloads

File What it's for
DiskSentry.exe βœ” Windows 10/11 64-bit β€” download & double-click. Nothing to install, fully self-contained
DiskSentry_v1.3.1_source.zip Full source code + build_windows.bat one-click EXE builder

First run: Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC" (the exe is not code-signed).
Click More info β†’ Run anyway. Then accept the Administrator (UAC) prompt β€” reading raw SMART data requires elevation, the same reason CrystalDiskInfo asks for it.

✨ What it does

  • All your drives, live β€” identity, capacity, temperature, health, real-time read/write throughput, IOPS, session totals, history charts
  • Who is writing β€” and to WHICH disk β€” the TOP WRITERS table ranks every running program by write/read rate and tells you whether it's hitting your C: SSD or the external USB HDD, with open file paths and a per-drive breakdown
  • SSD TBW & endurance β€” lifetime host writes, rated-TBW budget bar, NAND life left, DWPD, burn-rate projection, history that persists across restarts
  • Full S.M.A.R.T. health β€” complete ATA attribute tables + NVMe health logs: reallocated/pending/CRC errors, power-on hours, unsafe shutdowns
  • USB enclosures handled β€” auto-probes bridge dialects (Innostor / JMicron / Cypress / Sunplus) and tells you honestly when an enclosure doesn't forward SMART

πŸ“¦ Install

  1. Download DiskSentry.exe below (or build it yourself from source in ~2 min)
  2. Double-click β†’ accept UAC β†’ More info β†’ Run anyway on SmartScreen
  3. Close the window to quit β€” a TBW snapshot is saved on exit

Optional (recommended): install smartmontools once for the full SMART table + exact TBW numbers:

winget install smartmontools

then press RESCAN inside DiskSentry. Without it you still get drives, health, temperature and all live I/O.
