azagahl Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 In my BIOS I can enable SMART hard drive monitoring and when I boot it says my two disks are SMART capable and enabled. However, it seems completely useless - tools like Everest and SpeedFan don't show any SMART info at all. What gives?
ripken204 Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 i dont know much bout speed fan but i do have it, and there is a tab on it that says S.M.A.R.T. and is shows info on my hdd
azagahl Posted June 14, 2005 Author Posted June 14, 2005 Yeah, that is the problem. in SpeedFan the SMART tab is blank.Same thing with Everest.No info. Nada.
Zxian Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 It also depends on how Windows sees your hard drives. My motherboard supports SMART, as do both of my drives, but in Device Manager, the drives are listed as SCSI devices (as opposed to standard IDE hard drives) and therefore there's no SMART information available.
ripken204 Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 did u select ur hdd under the SMART tab where is says "hard disk", mine is blank until i select the drive
