Release list
DiskSentry v1.3.1 β Storage Telemetry Console
π 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.
π₯ Downloads
| File | What it's for |
|---|---|
DiskSentry.exe |
β 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.
β¨ 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

π¦ Install
- Download
DiskSentry.exebelow (or build it yourself from source in ~2 min) - Double-click β accept UAC β More info β Run anyway on SmartScreen
- 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.
See the README for full usage instructions, all features and troubleshooting.
