    Does anyone know of a freeware utility to monitor the SMART status of a hard disk? I had a disk fail spectacularly a while ago, and I can't help but feel it would have warned me if I'd been listening.

    I'm fundamentally a Linux-head, and have smartmontools on my own computers, but I'd like to have something similar on de missus's PC.

    Ta!

    Howdy,

    Speedfan can monitor SMART hard drives. ALso ATI Traytools has a plugin which will do the same.
    Google the links :D

    Edit: Links... ATI Traytools
