Function: S.M.A.R.T. unit’s health status
This function allows you to check S.M.A.R.T. status of hard disks. S.M.A.R.T. is a
monitoring system for computer hard disks to detect and report on various indicators
of reliability, in the hope of anticipating failures. To enable S.M.A.R.T. checks, you
need to use Hardware Configuration tool on console and enable it inside Functionality
options. (press F1 on console to find out keyboard shortcuts).
Function: S.M.A.R.T. info
This function allows you to view S.M.A.R.T. parameters in which this disk is able to
return. In the upper part of this function you can see elementary parameters of the hard
drive such as device model or serial number. Below there is a table with S.M.A.R.T.
attributes. In first column you will find an attribute name, in second - minimum
threshold value of this parameter, then current value, next worst value and the after
status.
If value of attribute exceeded the worst of this value then the status will be
"failed". If value of attribute is on the edge of worst value then the status can be "pre-
failed". On some hard drives part of attributes can be displayed as
"Unknown_Attribute" - this can happen when the producer of that hard drive has done
some modifications in S.M.A.R.T. and hence these changes are not yet supported by
our software.
Button "view errors" provides you ability to view the S.M.A.R.T. log of that drive
which is generated automatically.
Function: S.M.A.R.T. test
This function allows you to perform short or long tests of a hard drive. You will be
informed about the current progress of the test. After test completion please click on
"results" button to view test log. Performing a test is not recommended during normal
(daily) usage of selected hard drive.
It can happen that on some motherboards and controllers S.M.A.R.T. tests
will not work.
