SMARTReporter 2.0b3 Warns Of ATA Drive Failure Before It Happens [OS X 10.3 up]
SMARTReporter is an application that can warn you of (S)ATA hard-drive failures before they actually happen! It does so by periodically polling the S.M.A.R.T.-status of your hard-drives. S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a technology built into most modern hard-drives that acts as an "early warning system" for pending drive problems. Because SMARTReporter relies on the S.M.A.R.T. implementation of Mac OS X, it only supports (S)ATA hard-drives, if you want S.M.A.R.T. support for your SCSI, USB or FireWire hard-drive, send feedback to Apple.
SMARTReporter 2 can notify you of impending drive failures by sending e-mails, displaying a warning dialog or executing an application. The current status of your drives is always displayed through the customizable menu item.
New in this version:
• Display the finder-visible drive (partition) name(s) in the drive list, for better usability, and to be able to distinguish two drives of the same model
• Add option to refrain from displaying SMARTReporter in the menu-bar. You will have to hold down alt (option) during an future application launch to make it visible again.
• CALL FOR HELP: i've heard SMARTReporter crashes when sending mail to an exchange server. since i don't have one i can't test it. if you have access to one, please try it out. in case SMARTReporter really crashes, send me the crash report ( ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/SMARTReporter.log). my email address is on my homepage and in the ReadMe. thanks
System requirements:
• Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
• At least one (S)ATA hard-drive
