HDDlife Plugin for Google Desktop

Description:

Not long ago, Google introduced their Google Desktop system. This free package creates a searchable index of your local files and enables you to search through them similar to how you search for pages on Google. The Google Desktop includes a fantastic sidebar with tools like a headline news viewer, RSS and Atom monitor, Gmail and Outlook new mail notifiers, and more, which has garnered millions of users' love.

HDDlife Plugin for Google Desktop is a plugin designed to help you monitor the health of your drives. This plugin is just the beginning of the additional tools that can be integrated into the Google Desktop with its pluggable architecture.

Most Google Desktop tools focus on monitoring online resources, but it's essential not to overlook your PC's health. Without a functioning hard drive, all remote resources become inaccessible. HDDLife, a freeware plugin for Google Desktop, constantly monitors various parameters of your hard drive. By analyzing statistical data from your drive operations, HDDLife can predict hardware issues and alert you when your drive is at risk of failure. This proactive approach helps prevent the loss of important files by providing real-time drive health status through Google Sidebar icons.

Hard drives are sensitive to heat, with a mere 10-degree temperature rise potentially halving the drive's life expectancy. HDDLife aids in quickly diagnosing heating issues, thus extending your hardware's lifespan. Aside from displaying status icons for each drive on the Google Sidebar, the plugin also shows your hard drive temperature.
