Dear all,
I've been trying to find a software to monitor my HDDs with S.M.A.R.T.
However, none of the softwares I tried can detect the S.M.A.R.T.
information. I tried:
- HDD Life
- HD Tune
- Sandra
- Lavalys
- PC Wizard...
My config is is follows:
- Motherboard: Gigabyte: GA-K8U-939
- SATA Controller: Silicon Image SiI 3114 SoftRaid 5 Controller
- Windows XP Pro SP2
Sometimes the software detects the HDD, sometimes not. However, I can
never read the S.M.A.R.T. information.
Is there any good software that works out there ?


The smartmontools. Ported over from Linux. Commandline,
which means you can script stuff. And free.

I tried those.. and they apparently also did not detect my HDDs or
SMART info.
