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. What's New: Version 2.0b1: Redesigned, intuitive user-interface Added options what to do on a drive-failure: Send an e-mail Launch an application/applescript/file Display an alert Added options to change the appearance in the menu-bar: Ability to choose "icon sets" for the menu-icon Added an icon set which is completely grey for better integration with other menu-icons (thanks to Jim Younkin) Ability to use small colored dots instead of beautiful icons (ugly, but saves menu-bar-space) Improved the documentation and added section about what to do when a drive failure is predicted Improved the textual output of the application for better usability Live-update the log window Fixed an bug related to detecting an self-installed launch-item |  |
