This piece of PowerShell makes SMART monitoring more agile and reliable, because we alert on more information than just the predicted failure values. We’ve used this in the past to troubleshoot or check disks for predictive failures manually, but figured we should also try the same automated.
A tool made by CrystalMark which presents the values to you in a nice overview. To resolve this, I’ve created a set that uses CrystalDiskInfo. SMART itself could be a pretty decent early warning system when using all values supplied. This is due to RMM systems using only the Windows SMART output which lacks some critical values you should monitor. We all agreed that the issue with SMART monitoring is that often it is unreliable when using RMM systems. In a peer-group that I am a member of recently we’ve had a small discussion about monitoring the SMART status of hard drives.
