Picture bar toolbox

Tuba Toolbox is a "zero threshold" Hardware management artifact helps ordinary users control computer status in real time through minimalist interactive design and intelligent early warning system. Its core functions include health scores, temperature alarms, historical trend analysis, etc. Windows 7 to Windows 11 systems support solid state drives (SSD), mechanical hard drives (HDD) and mobile hard drives. This software "protects data security with one click" Based on the design concept, it has solved the hardware failure warning needs of more than 10 million users and is one of the basic tools necessary for computer installation.

Software function

Health status at a glance:

Provides a three-level score of "Health/Warning/Danger", displays the remaining life of the hard drive (based on parameters such as power-on time, error rate) through a dashboard-style interface, and supports custom warning thresholds (such as triggering an alarm when SMART attribute 05 exceeds 100).

Real-time monitoring of CPU, graphics card, and hard disk temperatures, and support for high temperature warnings (such as a pop-up notification when the SSD exceeds 70°C).

Intelligent assisted decision-making:

When hardware health declines, backup suggestions are automatically generated to prompt users to migrate data in a timely manner.

Provide hardware upgrade recommendations (such as "The current graphics card performance is lower than the minimum configuration for the game, it is recommended to upgrade to RTX 4060").

Data visualization:

Provides line charts for temperature, write volume, and error counts, and supports sliding timelines to view historical fluctuations.

Health score change records support exporting to PDF reports to facilitate analysis by technicians.

Novice guidance function:

A "Hardware Detection Wizard" is provided when you use it for the first time, and the initial diagnosis is completed through 3 steps. The built-in video tutorial explains key functions (such as scanning hard disk bad sectors).

Personalization settings:

It supports skin customization and dynamic icon replacement, and the tool manager allows users to freely add and delete tools (such as removing uncommon memory testing tools).

Software features

Interaction design:

Using a card-style layout, key information (such as temperature, health status) can be operated with one hand through floating buttons, and the spacing between interface elements complies with Fitts' law.

Multi-language support:

It has built-in 12 language packs including Simplified Chinese, English, and Japanese, and the localization rate of technical terms reaches 95%.

Community resources:

With a built-in "Fault Case Library", users can search for hard drive models to view common problems and solutions (such as Samsung 860EVO's 03 attribute exception handling).

Software features

Hardware compatibility:

Supports 98% of commercially available hard drives, including the latest NVMe models such as Samsung 990 Pro and Western Digital SN850, with an automatic recognition rate of 99.7%.

Resource usage:

The memory footprint of the background process is less than 10MB, and it can still run smoothly on older laptops (such as Intel Atom N4020).

Portability:

A green installation-free version is provided, which can be run directly from a USB flash drive and is suitable for system maintenance personnel to quickly detect the status of the hard disk.

FAQ

Reason: It may be due to false alarm interception by anti-virus software, or the downloaded file is incomplete or damaged.

Solution: Temporarily turn off anti-virus software (such as McAfee) and switch to domestic anti-virus software; re-download it from the official website or a reliable source, use 7-Zip and other tools to decompress, and ensure that the path does not contain Chinese or special symbols.

Unable to open or run:

Reason: Lack of runtime library (such as .NET Framework, VC++ runtime library), or system compatibility issues (such as 32-bit system running 64-bit tools).

Solution: Install the latest version of .NET Framework and VC++ runtime; right-click the toolbox main program and select "Run as administrator"; switch compatibility mode (right-click Properties → Compatibility → check "Run in compatibility mode" → select Windows 8).

Hardware detection is inaccurate or disputed:

Reason: Tuba Toolbox obtains hardware information through DMI, CPUID, and registry. The data is for reference only.

Solution: Use more professional tools in the toolbox to detect hardware information, such as AIDA64.
