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 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.
What's New in This Release:
· Fixed an e-mail related crash-bug
· Added german localization
· Don't select first row in the drive-table (for better readability)
· Bugfix: the drive-name shouldn't be editable
· The icon now looks better on dark background
· Fixed some memory-leaks
· Now it's possible to get the hidden menu-item even back when SMARTReporter is already running, by launching it again and holding down alt (option)
