What operating systems are supported?
We support Windows 7 and above. The software is also compatible with the x64 versions of Windows.

Taskbar Applet
You can optionally configure the storage manager to keep a small taskbar applet resident that monitors your drive's temperature and warns you if it is approaching its maximum rated temperature. It also monitors SSDs to report if the drive is approaching its end of life (SSD dependent).

Below is a sample screenshot where we have selected a Micron M500 120GB SSD (installed in a USB enclosure). You can see that the device is well within its maximum rated temperature and its lifetime remaining is at 100%.
