HE - Hardware Read & Write1.18.12.15

HE - Hardware Read & Write is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you check out comprehensive information regarding your computer hardware.The tool provides details about PCI index/data, memory, memory index/data, I/O space, and many other items, so it is suitable especially for driver developers and firmware, QA, performance test, and diagnostic engineers.

Multi-tabbed environment

HE - Hardware Read & Write makes use of a multi-tabbed design for classifying the abundance of details. There’s no support for a help manual but the parameters look straightforward so you are not going to spend a lot of time deciphering them. However, you still need to have some background knowledge about hardware in order to understand their meaning.

Hardware details

The program helps you gather information about processor (e.g. specification, instructions, CPUID, EAX), memory SPD (e.g. memory type, module type, serial number, structure, week/year), displayer (e.g. monitor ID, EDID version, serial number, EDID checksum, color characteristics, established timings), as well as physical storage (e.g. S.M.A.R.T. attributes, firmware, capacity, device type, model name, serial number).What’s more, you can stay informed about ACPI tables and ASL code, Super I/O, Option ROM, MP configuration, and system-related data, such as OS summary (e.g. operating system name, architecture and installation date, product ID, CPU, uptime statistics, screen resolution), Windows devices, processes, system drivers, services, software products, startup items, environment variables, event log, logical disks, video, WMI, scan code, and network.Other important details that you can view are related to USB devices, BIOS, ACPI EC space, I/O space and index/data, memory space and index/data, PCI configuration space and index/data, as well as SMBus.Tests have shown that HE - Hardware Read & Write displays data very quickly in the main panel without hampering your computer’s performance.

Finally

The final verdict is that HE - Hardware Read & Write provides a thorough set of features for getting details about hardware, and is suitable especially for professionals. On the downside, you cannot export the information to a file on your system.
