Good SMART program?

[jnick]

Hey guys,

I was wondering what a good SMART analyzing program would be? Right now I'm currently using Speedfan, however that's showing my HDD to be at 90% fitness and 97% performance. I got a little worried about the fitness portion as I JUST got this HDD (74gb Raptor) in January.

Is speed fans analyzer accurate, or should I use something else?

Any help is appreciated!

They'll all report the same values. 90/97 is nothing to be worried about. IMO the only time to worry about SMART values is when they start dropping. Check it every month or so and see what it's doing.

Thanks for the info.

Where do you get one of these smart checker programs?

Speedfan mentioned earlier will do fine.

yeah speedfan is what I use too
There was something else I used before that I think was better for SMART info.. I can't think of the name right now. I will post back if I remember.
