I originally installed it to monitor the temperature of my hard drives which was a concern of mine after I had a hard drive fail due to excessive heat. One day Hard Disk Sentinel started reporting that my main hard drive was experiencing health issues. Now I'm very glad I had HD Sentinel installed! I will tell everyone to use this product.

The important news is CAINE 7.0 blocks all the block devices (e.g. /dev/sda), in Read-Only mode. You can use a tool with a GUI named BlockON/OFF present on Caine's Desktop.
This new write-blocking method assures all disks are really preserved from accidentally writing operations, because they are locked in Read-Only mode.
If you need to write a disk, you can unlock it with BlockOn/Off or using 'Mounter' changing the policy in writable mode.
