## What it is
CrystalDiskInfo is a Windows utility that displays disk drive health and S.M.A.R.T. information for PATA, SATA, and partially NVMe/USB/RAID drives. It monitors temperatures and health status and can alert users to drive degradation.

## Use cases
- check SSD health status
- monitor hard drive temperature
- read SMART attributes of my disks
- find out if my NVMe drive is failing
- get alerts when disk health degrades
- view disk firmware and serial number info

## When to choose
- you need a free, well-known Windows tool to inspect drive health and SMART data
- you want temperature monitoring and health alerts for SATA/NVMe drives

## When to avoid
- you need disk health monitoring on Linux or macOS
- you need full support for USB or RAID-attached drives
- you need disk benchmarking rather than health monitoring

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, windows, hardware
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: smart, disk-health, nvme, ssd, hdd, ata, system-utility
