A Windows drive-health monitor for S.M.A.R.T., NVMe and RAID storage.

CrystalDiskInfo is a downloadable Windows utility for checking the health and technical status of HDDs and SSDs. It reads S.M.A.R.T. data, reports drive condition, and includes monitoring extras such as graphs, logs, alarms, and email notifications.

Why it stands out

  • Covers a wide Windows range, including current Windows Server releases and x86, x64, and ARM64 builds.
  • Reports both high-level health status and detailed S.M.A.R.T. attributes in one utility.
  • Includes monitoring features such as resident mode, alarms, event logs, and email alerts rather than only one-time diagnostics.
  • Supports NVMe and some USB and Intel RAID configurations, which many simple disk tools do not handle consistently.
  • Available in multiple editions while retaining the same core disk-monitoring function.

Good to know

  • Windows-only; macOS and Linux users need a different tool.
  • USB, Intel RAID, and NVMe support is not universal, so some controllers or enclosures may not expose full data.
  • NVMe support requires Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 or later.
  • The installer does not support Windows XP or Server 2003, and Server Core is not supported.
