Active SMART
Active SMART allows you to monitor the S.M.A.R.T. parameters of the hard disk to detect its fault condition. It uses special algorithms to predict the date of the possible drive fail. Also Active SMART gives you full information about your hard disk. It has several testing modes and can be used at home for personal use as well as for large computer systems. Various monitoring modes and alerting options are available (local and remote). The built in messaging features allow for system administrators to be notified of impending hard disk failure on any machine on the network while local alerting can be configured to notify the user. Easy-to-use interface allows users to use Active SMART without any special technical knowledge.Our Review: With so much at stake if your hard drive fails, Active SMART is an excellent idea for peace-of-mind. Active SMART uses the S.M.A.R.T. technology present in most of todays new drives to tabulate statistics on your drives performance and deduce how long your drive will function smoothly for before you can expect trouble. Although this sounds both ominous and unpredictable, it is actually based on technology - a S.M.A.R.T. hard drive stores both its own manufacturer thresholds and up-to-date data on its own performance. Active SMART accesses this data and makes an analysis and a prediction for each performance category. Active SMART runs as a systray application - constantly monitoring, and has the awesome ability to sounds alarms and send emergency emails should your hard drive begin its downward spiral. Smart.
