The website says it all: 'SMARTReporter is an application that can warn you
of some ATA hard disk failures before they actually happen! It does so by
periodically polling the S.M.A.R.T.-status of your hard disk. S.M.A.R.T.
(Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a technology built into
most modern hard disks that acts as an "early warning system" for
pending drive problems. SMARTReporter can notify you of impending hard disk
failures by sending e-mails, displaying a warning dialog or executing an
application. The current status of your hard disks is always displayed through
the customizable menu item.' Programs like this are incredibly useful for safety
reasons. It's free, and anyone using a hard-disk should have it installed. It's
a little angel, this tool.
