What is CrystalDiskInfo?
This software designed for managing HDDs and SSDs is compatible with specific USB devices, Intel RAID setups, and NVMe technology. For accessing the latest email notification features, having the .NET Framework version 4.8 or newer is necessary. NVMe functionality requires at least Windows 10 or Server 2016 and later, and the installation process does not support Windows XP or Server 2003 (NT5.x), nor does it work with earlier versions such as Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, or 2000, and is also not compatible with Server Core. Users can benefit from features like Auto AAM/APM adaptation, which enables the application of AAM/APM settings during system boot or when new disks are detected, with the flexibility to modify the wait time for automatic disk detection or to completely disable this feature. Support for Intel and AMD RAID configurations is provided through the Common Storage Management Interface (CSMI), and it is advisable to use the latest RAID driver for optimal performance. The program records disk information in the registry, which can be accessed by gadgets and other software, and it can manage a buffer size of up to 32 MB. Additionally, the rotation rate field is established according to ATA8-ACS standards, while CrystalDiskInfo exclusively supports IDE (Parallel ATA) and Serial ATA drives that are linked to an internal ATA controller, including the chipset. It is also crucial to maintain your system's updates to ensure that it operates efficiently and remains compatible with a variety of storage technologies, which helps prevent potential issues that could arise from outdated software.
