Disk Monitor – Quick Development Update
Since August 30, quite a lot has changed in Disk Monitor:
-
Added SMART automation with Off / 1× / 2× / 3× daily checks. Sleeping HDDs are never woken just for SMART; automatic checks wait for a natural wake-up.
-
Added a startup SMART check for already-active drives and SSDs.
-
Added per-drive information showing how many automatic SMART checks ran today and when the last one was performed.
-
Improved the SMART Full Check results and made the summary layout more compact.
-
Standardized SMART and RAID action buttons for a cleaner and more consistent UI.
-
Improved hover states and several small alignment/layout details.
-
Reworked USB Auto-Standby: preset times are saved immediately when selected.
-
Added a new touch-friendly custom minutes keypad for custom standby times, designed to work well on desktop, iPhone and iPad.
-
Removed unnecessary Save buttons and simplified the overall interaction.
-
Fixed several smaller UI/interaction bugs found during testing.
I also created a short video showing the current interface and some of the new functions.
Still a work in progress, but the UI and SMART/standby handling are now much closer to the final direction.
