External Drive health check

[firestrike]

Im looking for a program that monitors the health of ** hard drives both internal and external. does anyone know of one?

Ive had a look through the usefull utilities thread and tried a few programs but none of them seem to do quite what i want( none of them moniter your external drives)

Not all external enclosures pass SMART data and very, very few read it from USB devices. So either go eSATA or give up on it, it's not a loss really - aside from temp monitoring SMART is near worthless.

I take it chkdsk wouldn't be what you want then?

Defraggler can do a disk check on any disks it can see.
