Chronograph is a simple utility that synchronizes your computer’s internal clock to the atomic time. Standard internal clocks are usually very incorrect, and need frequent manual corrections. Chronograph automatically maintains correct time using atomic clock servers of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The program is extremely helpful for every computer user. It is a must have for professionals who need correct time permanently (e.g. stock traders). Chronograph provides a high degree of accuracy – the difference between local computer time and actual time after correction will rarely exceed 0.5 seconds. This slight difference is caused by an unavoidable network transmission delay.

Hard Drive Inspector NE is a powerful, effective and easy-to-use program that monitors hard drive health. This edition has all the functionality of the Professional version, but also takes into account specific features of notebooks.

The value of information stored on an average computer hard drive often exceeds the value of the computer itself. But a hard drive is one of the most unreliable internal computer devices. When it crashes (which happens quite frequently), the stored information will be lost fully or partially. Subsequent information recovery is either not possible at all, or constitutes a very sophisticated and expensive procedure that can beperformed only by specialists.

Modern hard drives support S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) that was specially developed to detect upcoming disk failures. Using this technology Hard Drive Inspector NE can monitor the current state of various life-critical parameters describing a disk’s reliability and performance. Hard Drive Inspector NE analyzes this data and warns the user if the parameters indicate a critical reduction of disk reliability. Timely alerts make it possible to copy the data and replace an unreliable disk, thus preventing information loss.

Hard Drive Inspector is a powerful, convenient and effective program based on the S.M.A.R.T. technology, which allows controlling health of your hard disk drives.

Hard Drive Inspector is a powerful, convenient and effective program based on the S.M.A.R.T. technology, which allows controlling health of your hard disk drives.

Most computer users argue that information stored on their computer is the most valuable element of the computer system. With the help of the S.M.A.R.T. System, Hard Drive Inspector allows you to predict a possible failure of the HDD before this occurs. As the access to electronic information becomes more and more vital in business and at home, Hard Drive Inspector allows exceeding the traditional limits of HDDs reliability, thus extending the level of valuable user data protection.

Hard Drive Inspector has a flexible option system, which allows you to customize the functionality of this utility, according to your needs. Hard Drive Inspector has an easy-to-use, nice-looking interface. It also offers many useful features, which make the S.M.A.R.T. monitoring process full-scale and easy.

Version 2.20 introduces support for USB drives and enclosures based on Cypress AT2 chip (USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge). Below is incomplete list of the supported USB drives and enclosures:

Transcend StoreJet 3.5 TS0GSJ35, StoreJet 2.5 TS0GSJ25;

With Chronograph you will never have to adjust your computer’s clock or look for the exact current time and date in the Internet. Chronograph will do it for you automatically and keep your clock accurate.

Chronograph’s main function is to synchronize your local PC time using the Internet. For that purpose it uses the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Atomic Clock time servers. Chronograph provides quite a high degree of accuracy and the difference between local computer time and atomic clock time after correction will rarely exceed 0.5 second. This slight difference is caused by an unavoidable network transmission delay.

Chronograph has an easy-to-use, nice-looking interface. It also offers many useful features which make the time synchronization process fast and easy.

Features:

Manual, periodical and wait-for-connection operating modes.
Standard Windows clock replacement with multiple skins.
Automatic Dial-Up Networking connection.
Easy access to more than 10 NIST exact time Atomic Clock servers
SOCKS and HTTP proxy server support.
Advanced hint with the calendar.
High stability.
Program automatically connects to another time server when the current server is down.

Hard Drive Inspector allows you to predict a possible failure of the HDD before this occurs.
