Reviewer: brain
The program is the perfect help to show SMART info from your harddrives.
SMART is a system to get usefull runtime information from your harddrive aswel as some failure monitoring.
The good:
- Contains many (if not all) SMART infomation values that are available.
- Most values are self explaining (like temperatur start.stop count...)
- small memory footprint.
- some extra information NOT related to SMART tags are provided too (like MBR records that are on disk)
the bad:
- this program is meant to advanced users and does not help the blondes among us :-)
overal ratng: excelent !

Features S.M.A.R.T. Assistant -

To ensure normal functioning should include the option "S.M.A.R.T." in the computer's BIOS:
"Advanced BIOS Features" -> "HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability" -> [Enabled]
When you start the program creates a list of computer hard drives

and tries for each disc to enable S.M.A.R.T. by using command SMART ENABLE OPERATIONS, to enable automatic saving attributes S.M.A.R.T. by using command SMART ENABLE ATTRIBUTE AUTOSAVE, to enable automatic offline testing by using SMART ENABLE AUTOMATIC OFF-LINE.
The program supports monitoring up to 6 hard drives (IDE or SATA, connected in IDE-compatibility mode (not in AHCI mode), does not work with SCSI-drives and RAID-arrays).
Pressing the button

updated list of hard drives.
Pressing the button

occurs reading, display and analysis of the state of SMART selected in the list (the current one) hard drive.
S.M.A.R.T. status shown

: (returned by using command SMART RETURN STATUS)

O.K. - state of the disk in normal;
ERROR - disk can lead to failure.

The following table lists the attributes of SMART, given their values, flags, and status (for hard disks that are compatible with standard SFF-8035i).
S.M.A.R.T. Attributes

List of attributes:

01h 'Raw Read Error Rate'
02h 'Throughput Performance'
03h 'Spin Up Time'
04h 'Start/Stop Count'

06h 'Read Channel Margin'
07h 'Seek Error Rate'
08h 'Seek Time Performance'
09h 'Power-On Hours Count'
0Ah 'Spin Retry Count'
0Bh 'Calibration Retry Count'
0Ch 'Power Cycle Count'
0Dh 'Read Soft Error Rate'
BDh 'High Fly Writes'
BEh 'Airflow Temperature'
BFh 'G-Sense Error Rate'
C0h 'Power-Off Retract Count'
C1h 'Load Cycle Count'
C2h 'Temperature'
C3h 'Hardware ECC Recovered'
C4h 'Reallocation Event Count'
C5h 'Current Pending Sector Count'
C6h 'Uncorrectable Sector Count'

E1h 'Load Cycle Count'
E2h 'Load-in Time'
E4h 'Power-off Retract Count'
E7h 'Temperature'
F0h 'Head Flying Hours'
FAh 'Read Error Retry Rate'

Name - the attribute name
Attr - normalized attribute value (1 .. 253, the higher the value, the better)
Worst - the lowest value of attribute
Raw - unnormalized attribute value
Threshold - threshold value of attribute (1..253, 254 - forbidden value, 0 - informative attribute, not directly affecting the reliability, 255 - test value)
Flags - flags:

S - Self-preserve (SP) - self-preserving attribute - attribute value is updated and saved automatically
C - Events count (EC) - attribute is a counter of events
E - Error rate (ER) - attribute value reflects the relative frequency of errors on the parameter
P - Performance related (PR) - attribute value reflects the performance of disk
O - Online collection (OC) - attribute value is updated during the execution of online testing
F - Pre-failure (PF) - vital attribute

Status - attribute status: OK - in the normal, !!! - unsatisfactory condition (normalized value is less than the threshold).

Green color marked vital attributes with good values;

pink color marked vital attributes with poor values.

Raw-attribute values can be displayed in decimal (DEC), and hexadecimal form (HEX) - is controlled by a switch "HEX/DEC" of panel "Settings".

Types of testing S.M.A.R.T.
"Online" testing (on-line data collection) - performed by the disk when the S.M.A.R.T. enabled, does not affect the performance of hard disk.
"Offline" testing (off-line data collection) - performed manually (S.M.A.R.T. Immediate Offline Test) or automatically (S.M.A.R.T> Automatic Offline Test, every few hours), does not make entries in the S.M.A.R.T. self-test log, used to update the values of those attributes that can not be updated during the normal work of the disc.
"Self" testing - executed by special command. Test results are shown in the S.M.A.R.T. self-test log. Reduced inspection normally lasts a few minutes, complete - about an hour.

Pressing the button

recording of current hard drive S.M.A.R.T. information occurs to a text file:
S.M.A.R.T. Report - 02.09.2008 9:52:18

Model Number: ST3250820AS

Information on the current hard disk is represented on the panel "Information":
S.M.A.R.T. information

Serial Number - serial number of hard disk
Firmware Revision - version of hard disk firmware
Model Number - model of hard disk
Size - volume of the hard drive in gigabytes
LBA48 - support LBA48 addressing mode
S.M.A.R.T. - active state S.M.A.R.T.
HPA - support HPA
Security - support ATA Security mode

The temperature of the disc can be displayed with four values:

first value (black numbers) - the temperature of the hard disk (attribute 0xC2)
second value (blue numbers) - the lowest temperature of the hard drive since the power (attribute 0xBE), not always supported
third value (red numbers) - the highest temperature of the hard drive since the power (attribute 0xBE), not always supported
fourth value (black numbers) - the temperature of the hard disk (attribute 0xBE)

At the bottom of the panel "Information" displays the logo of the manufacturer of the disk

With the support of the command IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH possible to customize AAM (Automatic Acoustic Management) and APM (Advanced Power Management) for the selected hard disk.
If the buttons for AAM and APM disabled

, it means that AAM or APM is not supported.
Pressing the button

we query the state of AAM or APM for the selected hard disk.
Pressing the button

there is a change in the state of AAM or APM for the selected hard disk.

enable/disable AAM or APM
preset level AAM or APM
current level of AAM or APM
recommended by the manufacturer level AAM or APM

In the system tray shows temperature of hard disks in the form of icons with a numeric value:

Display icons, color figures and background are set for each disc: Icon Color Select

A green icon means the normal state of SMART, red - no.
The program carries out periodic monitoring of SMART and temeratury hard drive for automatic notification of problems. Polling interval is set in the panel "Settings":

Disabling SMART monitoring carried out a switch in the panel "Settings"

The program can display information and warning tooltips (configured in the panel "Settings"

The program can inform a violation of the normal state of SMART Hard drive with a sound signal (configured in the panel "Settings"

).
The program can be run with Windows (configured in the panel "Settings"

).
Program settings are stored in the file SMARTAssistant.ini in the folder used for apllications data (in Windows XP is C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\Application Data, in Windows Vista and later - C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming) when you exit the program or pressing the button

in the panel "Settings".
Pressing the button MBR Query

, placed near the list of drives, displays a window with the partition table, stored in the master boot record selected drive.
MBR

For each partition, displays:

file system ("Filesystem")
drive letter and volume label ("Volume Label")
serial number ("Serial Number")
cluster size ("Cluster Size")
start sector of partition ("Start LBA")
number of sectors in the partition and the partition size ("Sectors Count")
active/inactive status of partition ("Active")
flag the need for checking ("Dirty", NTFS)

At the bottom of the window displays a color map of the disc showing the location of partitions on the disk.
Under this map indicates the identifier of the disk partition ("Volume ID") and his signature (AA55h).
If you click SMTP Query

window displays the settings of sending reports and alerts via e-mail via SMTP
SMTP

Host - the name of SMTP-server
Port - port SMTP-server
Login - the user name
Password - the user password
From - to address e-mail
E-Mail - the address of the recipient e-mail
Authentication - need for SMTP-authentication

Reports - send reports to specified intervals
Warnings - sending alerts when a poor state of SMART
Button SMTP Report

is intended to send a test report.
If successful in sending a report of the status of the main window displays the string "Report Sending OK",
if unsuccessful - line " Report sending failed" Report Format:
