Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent hard drive health, performance, and storage issues.
Is there anything more frustrating than thinking you've saved a document, only for your changes to disappear? Or waiting patiently for a critical update that aborts at the last minute?
Hard disk storage is important for all sorts of processes across your organization. But when you've got a million and one things to do, monitoring it can easily slip your mind.
With the Paessler PRTG hard disk check program, available system memory is one less thing on your plate.
Running unobtrusively in the background, PRTG regulates available hard disk space and alerts you when it's low, giving you the peace of mind that you won't get caught out and hard disk performance is always optimized.
PRTG automatically recognizes all existing hard drives, statuses, and free disk space. There's no need to fiddle about with system settings or hardware detection tools.
Set warning and error thresholds and get on with more important jobs. PRTG alerts you when disk space and other detailed information of any storage device goes below the defined value, so you can act before it's too late.
PRTG helps you quickly identify system issues or underperforming hardware, and prevent errors, system failures, and other costly technical problems. Even network file systems get checked.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking physical drives. Show hard disk space, disk utility, SSD and HDD health, drive performance, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot hard drive failures and degradations, as well as storage and data recovery issues.

PRTG comes with sophisticated, preconfigured sensors to show available disk space on:
It also performs health checks and monitors performance, alerting you when there's a risk of errors. And it can even check if a specific file exists on your network, and log modifications to files you've flagged.
Each sensor operates 24/7 tracking values across your whole network, including:
PRTG comes with more than 250 native sensor types for monitoring your entire on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud environment out of the box. Check out some examples below!
The NetApp Physical Disk v2 sensor monitors physical disks of a NetApp storage system using ONTAP. It can show the following:
The SNMP Cisco UCS Physical Disk sensor monitors a physical disk of a Cisco Unified Computing System device. It can show the following:
The SNMP Linux Physical Disk sensor monitors the input/output (I/O) on disks of a Linux/Unix system. It can show the following:
The Windows Physical Disk I/O sensor monitors the input/output (I/O) parameters of a hard disk on a Windows system via Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) or Windows performance counters. It can show the following:
See the PRTG Manual for a list of all available sensor types.
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent hard drive health, performance, and storage issues.

PRTG is a proprietary software tool that takes the effort out of ensuring you always have optimal disk space. Available for Windows-based on-premises servers or as a cloud-hosted solution, it's capable of monitoring unlimited devices, bringing critical system data together in one simple, intuitive interface you can access from anywhere: at the office, at home, or on the go.
Put simply, because it saves you time, money, and frustration. Think of it as an eagle-eyed guardian who doesn't miss a thing (and never sleeps), constantly checking memory levels and your hardware's performance so you don't have to. Warning you of potential issues like data loss before they slow everyone down or crash the system.
Windows-based physical drives are monitored via WMI. Hard drives on Linux and Unix systems are monitored using SSH. Other servers, including SMB network file systems, are monitored via SNMP.
We're so confident you'll love PRTG that it comes with a free, no-obligation 30-day trial. Should you decide to keep using it, you can find our pricing list here.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
Bandwidth, servers, virtual environments, websites, VoIP services – PRTG keeps an eye on your entire network.
