    is it safe to use both samsung magician and hard disk sentinel


    i have a samsung nvme ssd and a normal hdd in my laptop. i want to install both programs. i will keep hard disk sentinel running in the background the whole time. i will disable the run on startup option in samsung magician and i wont use the program and i will only use it when i want to do diagnostic tests on my nvme ssd and then i will exit the program. is that ok?

    is it ok if both programs are running at the same time and both are reading disk health and temp and smart info? what i mean is that hard disk sentinel is running in the background and then i run samsung magician to do diagnostic tests

    :)

    Hard Disk Sentinel Pro vs. Samsung Magician

    If you have Hard Disk Sentinel, then that is far superior to Samsung Magician.
    I guess the only thing that Samsung Magician has over Hard Disk Sentinel, is that it checks for firmware updates, but you can do that manually.

    Hard Disk Sentinel Pro vs. Samsung Magician

    I run Hard Disk Sentinel Pro ver. 5.01.15 (latest is 5.30) and it runs in the background. I like it. Over the weekend I installed my first SSD that is supported by Samsung Magician an EVO 860. I have a 250GB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe SSD that is not supported by Samsung Magician. What are the benefits of installing Samsung Magician that if I understand correctly it is software specifically made to monitor certain Samsung drives such as the EVO 860. Is installing Magician redundant if I already have HD Sentinel installed? If Magician is capable of say imaging or migrating the contents of the 860 EVO I have no need for that benefit since I have been a happy Acronis user for some time now. All though I do not know all of Magicians benefits I believe the main reason to install for me would be to monitor the health of the drive. Thanks for the help.

    Thanks for the clarification. I thought you had a HDD from your specs:

    - perhaps you might update them?

    As it happens I have an old copy of Samsung Magician installed - v4- it claims there's no update- and at a quick glance I can't see any monitoring or alert features.

    Just found v5 having searched- odd the program showed no update.

    It seems a poor relation to HD Sentinel as a general disk condition monitor- what do you think?

    The one thing it does offer a set of optimisation features. So I'd say these are complimentary.
