HDD-Ping

A tool to "ping" hard drives to prevent spin-downs and head parking


This application is a Windows tray-only application that writes and deletes (thus "pings") a random file with zero length to selected hard drives in a given interval.

Functions:

  • Auto-discovery of drives on startup
  • Stores interval and selected drives in a serialized file
  • Re-enables settings of a found configuration file
  • Auto-fixes the settings by removing selected drives that are not available upon start
  • Includes three icons that change depending on the state
  • Those states are
    • 1: disabled (gray, no drive selected),
    • 2: writing (red for 5 secs when timer elapses)
    • 3: active-idle (green, waiting for a timer to elapse to write random file to selected drives)
