SMART Reader?

Hi,

I'm looking for a decent tool to read the SMART information from my hard drives.

A perfect one for me would include the ability to read SMART information from each drive in a RAID array.

Thanks.

Speedfan can do a Health Test over and above normal Smart but it wont work in Raid for obv reasons.

Speedfan does this, I think.

Ah yes, forgot about Speedfan

Anyone know of one compatible with RAID?

You might try HD Tune but i do not know if it has RAID capabilites unfortunately, never tried

I don't think they work with Raid (Raid0 anyhow) as how would it tell what HDD is knackered? (I'm not 100% on this and Smart is broken in NForce Vista drivers so I cannot try another App).

I thought there could possibly be some kind of SMART reader that will read the information from a RAID array allowing it to display SMART readings from both drives.
