DiskCheckup is a hard drive monitoring utility developed and published by PassMark Software. The software is designed to view and monitor a hard disk drive's SMART attributes along with other drive-related information, giving users visibility into the internal health and status data that modern drives report about themselves. SMART, which stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, is a monitoring system built into hard disk drives that tracks various attributes, and DiskCheckup serves as a utility for accessing and observing this data. The primary purpose of the software is therefore drive health monitoring: by presenting SMART attributes and additional disk information, it enables users to keep watch over the condition of their storage devices. Typical use cases include checking the reported status of a hard drive, reviewing its SMART attribute values, and generally keeping an eye on drive behavior over time as part of routine system maintenance or troubleshooting activities. In terms of categorization, DiskCheckup falls within the disk utilities and hardware monitoring software category, specifically among tools focused on SMART-based hard drive diagnostics and surveillance. The current version of DiskCheckup is 3.6.1001.0. According to the available catalog data, there is one recorded version of the software, so version 3.6.1001.0 represents the sole listed release at this time. PassMark Software, the publisher, is credited as the developer behind the utility. Users seeking a dedicated SMART hard drive monitoring solution from an established software publisher may find DiskCheckup relevant to their needs, as its stated function centers precisely on viewing and monitoring hard disk drive SMART attributes and other information. The utility's description emphasizes both viewing and ongoing monitoring, indicating that it is suited not only for one-time inspections of drive data but also for continued observation of a drive's SMART attributes as part of a broader approach to maintaining awareness of storage device health.
