An information processing apparatus of the present invention includes an HDD status monitoring part 11 that monitors the use environment or use status of a hard disk drive; an HDD status recording part 13 that records the history of the use environment or use status monitored in the HDD status monitoring part 11; a comparing/determining part 14 that compares the history recorded in the HDD status recording part 13 with a predetermined condition; a display part 15 that can output a comparison result in the comparing/determining part 14; and a control part 12 that controls the display part 15 to output the comparison result based on the comparison result in the comparing/determining part 14. When the history satisfies the predetermined condition, the control part 12 controls the display part 15 to output the comparison result. Such a configuration makes it possible to determine, not based on a temporary status change of the use environment but based on the history of the use environment or use status of the HDD, whether the HDD has any abnormality or not, thereby preventing unnecessary notifications from frequently being issued to the user and hence improving the usability. |
