SMART Disk Monitor - monitor hard drives

S.M.A.R.T. (From the English phrase Self Monitoring Analysing and Reporting Technology) - technology assessment of the state of the hard drive, which can be used to predict the time of the drive output out of service. The first hard S.M.A.R.T.-ROM was released by IBM in 1992 specifically for the AS / 400 server - it was simple SCSI-2 drives, and the test result was limited to one bit (either satisfactory or negative). Later, in 1995, the joint efforts of Compaq, Seagate, Quantum, and Conner was developed diagnostic technology IntelliSafe, which is after the standardization, along with IBM, Seagate and Western Digital, and formed the basis of SMART I. In upgrading to version SMART II participated Hitachi, proposed a method for complete self-storage and logging errors. One of the Hitachi drives such in 1998 for a lot of money, I bought for my pentium than proudly stands out from the rest of the geeks. The SMART III has introduced a feature surface defects and the possibility of their recovery. Thus IT-industry is now a powerful tool for monitoring the hard drive is already built into the drives themselves. SMART Disk Monitor uses all these achievements, presenting the user with detailed information on the status of its hard drives.

The program will be especially useful sysadmin, as it is able to send regular reports by e-mail and work with network drives.
