SMART Utility 3.2.5

SMART Utility 3.2.5

SMART Utility is an application to scan the internal hardware diagnostics system of hard drives. SMART (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a system built into hard drives by their manufacturers to report on various measurements (called attributes) of a hard drive’s operation. The attributes can be used to detect when a hard drive is having mechanical or electrical problems, and can indicate when the hard drive is dying. This allows time to hopefully backup, and then replace the drive.

FEATURES

• Displays all supported internal drives and their partitions, as well as some external drives (if optional SAT SMART driver is installed)
• Displays important information in the main window, such as drive model, capacity, power on hours, temperature, bad sector counts, and error counts and types
• Displays easy to read overall SMART status with color coded text
• Displays more detailed information in separate windows, including capabilities, all available attributes, and the past five errors
• Displays information using the Growl notification service (if installed) and email notifications (if configured)
• Displays information in menu bar
• Supports scanning in the background
• Supports running a hard drive’s builtin test, and displays the results of the test
• Supports scanning OS X software RAID drives, as well as drives in many RAID enclosures and cards (including SeriTek drives)
• Supports logging all information to a log file for verifying SMART data
• Supports customizing the prefail algorithm, including only alerting new bad sectors and error counts
• Supports saving drive reports for later viewing
• Supports printing drive reports
• Supports HDDs and SSDs
• Supports Mac OS X 10.9 through 10.14
• Fully localized in French, thanks to Ronald A. Leroux
