Seems pretty cool. It tells you the temperature of your hard drive and what the maximum temperature is. Also tells you how healthy your hard drive is, how long it has been used, total size and amount of space used up. It could come in handy... I don't know what it does if it finds that your hard drive isn't healthy and I hopefully won't find out. You can change settings on how often to check the different statistics. Should be pretty handy.

How can you call that pretty cool?

It's totally amazing! It really is good, extremely great!
since it's free

I like the progress bar GUI.

Agree wit hthat this is awesome, now I will know when my hard drive will crap out on me and be prepare to get a new one. Temp thing is ok as well, only downside I see it is that they don't give you suggestions on how to make your computer be more proficient. Yeah you can't do much on improving your hard drive, but better cooling techniques or spacing improvements.

But this can be a effective networking took and heck if even possible a good web hosting took.

Did not work well for me. It showed my week old sata hdd at 72% health and my friend's 3 yr old Hdd at 80%.

It's a good tool, but not really necessary, it's only cool for showing the temperature etc.
The warning alarm goes off constantly though, so i set up the lvl of max heat.

Yep I'm using it too... doesn't seem to be that useful, cos I know when my laptops overheating anyway!!!
I only got it for £10 aftr getting e-mailed a reduction coupon from them (after the free trial was over), so it's not too bad...

I would agree it was cool at the time but if you checked out my review here, the Harddrive Inspector is a lot better then HDDlife. As it tells more about your computer in terms of hardware, RAM and all that other good stuff.
