Description
This utility software for HDDs and SSDs is compatible with certain USB devices, Intel RAID configurations, and NVMe technology. To utilize the most recent email notification functionalities, the .NET Framework version 4.8 or a later iteration is essential. NVMe compatibility necessitates Windows 10 or Server 2016 and above, and the installation process does not accommodate Windows XP or Server 2003 (NT5.x), along with older versions like Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, or 2000, and it is also incompatible with Server Core. Features like Auto AAM/APM adaptation are available, allowing users to apply AAM/APM settings during the boot sequence or upon the detection of new disks, while also providing the option to adjust the wait time for automatic disk detection or to disable this feature entirely. Support for Intel/AMD RAID configurations is facilitated through the Common Storage Management Interface (CSMI), so it is recommended to utilize the latest RAID driver. The program logs disk information into the registry for use by gadgets and other applications, and it can handle a maximum buffer size of 32 MB. Additionally, the rotation rate field is defined according to the ATA8-ACS standards, and CrystalDiskInfo is limited to supporting only IDE (Parallel ATA) and Serial ATA drives connected to an internal ATA controller, which includes the chipset. Furthermore, it is important to keep your system updated to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with various storage technologies.
