Summary
HDD Guardian is the best disk monitoring/reporting freeware
that I have tested so far. It's the first one that had no
difficulties to recognize my USB drives (administrator mode).
It is very thorough and gives many options and adjustments.
You can translate it to your own language too, if you like!
