Hard Disk Sentinel standard is free today + the premium version with lifetime upgrades is 50% off.
You have to register though.
It also seems to require that you install it TODAY as well. I assume that means you cannot install it again at a later time.
It means you can only receive the software for free if you download & install it during today.
This software is regularly free so if you cannot reinstall it then it’ll be available again.
It's typical of giveaways that you have to register them within a limited time. Think about it from the supplier's viewpoint- that limits the number of freely licensed copies that will be taken up, plus provides an incentive if you have to e.g. clean install and lose the license.
Excellent program- and the trial is good and remains significantly functional.

Pro version definitely is worth it, its early warnings and read tests gave me time to make backups just in time.
HD Sentinel is excellent software.
I had been using version 5.4 (prior free version with minitool) and it did not provide a free upgrade.
This link is for version 5.61. It again does not provide a free upgrade:
Lifetime use and no upgrades (install only during promotion day) v5.61 - PC
Most end users use the software for it's proprietary scoring and instantaneous results: Performance and Health
At times these may be high (> 90%) and the drive may fail or has already failed.
The HD Sentinel software has additional tools for testing drives.
These take time to run and can be run overnight.
For example: click disk > click each:
a) extended self test
b) surface test
A drive may fail the extended self test and have displayed high numbers in the proprietary health and performance scores.
That bitsdojour page is spamming my email endlessly. Steer clear of it.
