Personal SmartCheck

Version
2.0
Personal SmartCheck 2.0 uses S.M.A.R.T. technology to
monitor hard drives internal S.M.A.R.T. attributes,
predict possible drive failure and prevent data loss.
Using predictions settings, Personal SmartCheck lets
you know about a potential disk health problem before
you lose valuable data.
With Personal SmartCheck you will have the most recent
information about the health of all hard drives on
your computer. Prediction of the nearest T.E.C. of any
hard drive can prevent valuable data loss by replacing
dangerous drives and backing up all data.
For example, motor and/or bearing failure can be
predicted by an increase in the drive spin-up time and
the number of retries it takes to succeed in spinning
up the drive. Or, if the drive notes that the error
correction is being used excessively, it can attribute
this to a broken drive head or contamination, and
alert you before the problem gets worse. Armed with a
failure prediction, the user or system manager can
back up key data, replace a suspect device prior to
data loss, or avoid undesired downtime.
