Active SMART description
Hard disk status analyzer and failure prediction software for your hard drive

Active SMART 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.

Active SMART has several monitoring modes and can be used for large computer systems as well as for personal use. 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.

Benefits of using Active SMART

Here are some key features of "Active SMART":

Various types of controlling the hard disks state
· Active SMART supports automatic disk check-up on system loading, constant tracking of the disks state with an interval varying from 1 minute to 99 hours, as well as performing a quick scan of the disks, in order to save the resources of the weaker machines.

Active SMART can be used to prevhours, as well ases overheating
· The program supports the drive thermal sensors and can be used to trace the drive temperature and prevent its overheating. The program notifies you if the disk temperature exceeds the pre-assigned value.

Hard drive Performance, Health and Temperature indicators
· Hard drive Health Status Summary indicator
· S.M.A.R.T. attribute description
· ActiveSMART contains descriptions for S.M.A.R.T. attributes with direct access to the online S.M.A.R.T. attributes library at ariolic.com.
· Hard drive Temperature changes logging
· S.M.A.R.T. attribute lifetime chart
· You can check the S.M.A.R.T. attribute lifetime using nice graphical chart.
· S.M.A.R.T. attribute value changes logging
· Active SMART is using all of the S.M.A.R.T. information available for the specified disk type
· Various types of hard disks support different numbers of the S.M.A.R.T. attributes. In any case, Active SMART will show you and will use all of the S.M.A.R.T. attributes, supported by your disks.

Supporting various types of notifying the user or the system administrator
· The program supports pop-up messages, e-mail and network messages to report any problems with the disks.

Quick scan of the disk state
· A quick S.M.A.R.T. scan mode allows evaluating the disk state at one glance.
· Emergency system shutdown in case of hard drive overheating
· Active SMART can shutdown (enable hibernate mode) your PC automatically if the hard drive becomes too hot. This saves your important data and prevents the hard drive possible failure.

· Previewing the raw values of the S.M.A.R.T. attributes
· This feature allows obtaining useful information, such as how many hours has the disk been working or the number of read/write errors etc.
· The built-in messaging features allow the system administrators to get notified on an impending hard disk failure on any machine in the network, while the local alerting can be configured to notify the users separately
· Moreover, Active SMART includes an internal mail (SMTP) client for sending out email alerts, even if there is no email software installed in the system. It contains flexible logging features, supports system Event log and many other useful capabilities.
· Previewing more then 25 of the manufacturer parameters of the disk
· Creating detailed reports about the disks state

User-friendly interface allows the users to operate Active SMART without any special technical knowledge ·
Enjoy its simple and convenient interface, which also supports the Windows XP themes.
