Description of Active SMART program from Softdepia.com:
Active SMART is an award winning hard disk status analyzer and failure prediction software for your hard drive. It uses S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) to monitor the health status of Hard Disk Drives (HDD), prevents data loss and predicts possible drive fail using special algorithms. Through the S.M.A.R.T. system, hard disk drives incorporate a suite of advanced diagnostics that monitor the internal operations of a drive and provide an early warning for many types of potential problems. When a potential problem is detected, the drive can be repaired or replaced before any data are lost.
The S.M.A.R.T. system consists of software that resides both on the disk drive and on the host computer. The software on the disk drive monitors the internal performance of the motors, media, heads, and electronics of the drive. The host software (Active SMART) determines the overall reliability of the drive by analyzing the drive's internal performance parameters and comparing them to predetermined threshold limits.
Active SMART has several monitoring modes and can be used for personal use as well as for large computer systems. Various local and remote monitoring modes and alerting options are available.
Active SMART allows every HDD in the system to be monitored for faults and potential failure 24 hours for a day for things that may lead to a crash. If a fault is detected, you are notified with various local alerting options. Also remote notifications via e-mail or network messenger are available.
With Active SMART you have full information about S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard disk, general information about the drive, special information about drive's features and manufacturing information. No special technical knowledge is required to use Active SMART.
Active SMART is a "Free to try" program. You can download and try it for an evaluation period.
