SMART Utility v3.0.2 Mac OS X
smart utility是volitans software公司推出的磁盤驅動器狀態檢測工具.它包括自我監控,分析並提供錯誤報告,它直觀的界面讓用戶可明確地知道自己的磁盤狀況.這樣,你就可以選擇最合適的時間來備份磁盤內容,如果對自己的磁盤並不是那麼放心的話.
smart utility不僅僅顯示了個人信息的屬性值及狀態,也從整個硬件內部偵測並列出狀況,以直觀的方式顯示.報告中包含錯誤的扇區計數.
smart utility具有的功能有:
* 陳列所有被支持的驅動器及其分區;
* 在主窗口中直接顯示部分重要的信息,如磁盤模塊,大小,硬盤已經使用的時間,溫度,被破壞的扇區計數和錯誤計數等;
* 整體閱讀smart的報告,閱讀時支持顏色調用;
* 在獨立窗口中顯示其它詳細的信息,包括所有屬性與錯誤信息;
* smart支持growl消息桌面通知需要第三方安裝.(閱讀:growl技巧-使通知程式更新時發出聲音警報)
* 支持單塊磁盤的內置測試,並顯示偵測報告;
* 支持掃瞄raid(via wikipedia)陣列上的應用程式,包括seritek驅動器,來自firmtek出品的存儲理念;
* 支持將所有的信息記錄到日誌文件的報告中;
* 支持定製失敗的算法—辨別方式,需要購買其服務.
Volitans SMART Utility 3.x MacOSX |
SMART Utility is an application to scan the internal hardware diagnostics system of hard drives. SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) is a system built into hard drives by their manufacturers to report on various measurements(called attributes) of a hard drive's operation. The attributes can be used to detect when a hard drive is having mechanical or electrical problems, and can indicate when the hard drive is failing. SMART Utility can read and display these attributes. This allows time to hopefully backup, and then replace the drive. SMART Utility also allows running a drive's built in self test, which can also indicate malfunctions on the drive.
WHY USE SMART UTILITY?
SMART Utility is different from other drive utilities, such as Disk Utility, which only read the overall SMART Status. SMART Utility not only displays the individual attributes to see their status and information, but it also uses an internal algorithm based on those attributes to detect drives failing before SMART indicates it has failed. This pre-fail detection can save precious data before SMART has determined that the drive has failed. And, while the raw information can be viewed on the command line with smartmontools (which is what SMART Utility is based on, SMART Utility presents it in an easy to read format, as well as running its internal pre-fail algorithm. Plus, with the ability to run self tests, problems can be detected even sooner.
FEATURES
Displays all supported drives and their partitions
Displays important information in the main window, such as drive model, capacity, power on hours, temperature, bad sector counts, and error counts and types
Displays easy to read overall SMART status with color coded text
Displays more detailed information in separate windows, including capabilities, all available attributes, and the past five errors
Displays information using the Growl notification service (if installed)
Displays information in menu bar
Supports saving drive reports for later viewing
Supports printing drive reports
Supports scanning in the background
Supports running a hard drive's built-in test, and displays the results of the test
Supports scanning OS X software RAID drives, as well as drives in many RAID enclosures and cards (including SeriTek drives)
Supports logging all information to a log file for verifying SMART data
Supports customizing the pre-fail algorithm, including only alerting new bad sectors and error counts
Supports Mac OS X 10.4.11, 10.5, 10.6, and 10.7, on both PowerPC and Intel Macs
