I have an SSD and 15 additional drives in my home file server. Reading SMART info from all of the drives has proven to be a little difficult. The motherboard's SATA headers and the HBA I'm using all pass SMART data, but the software tools I've tried have been lacking.
I like CrystalDiskInfo, but it shows a maximum of eight drives. It always shows the six drives on the motherboard, plus two additional. The only way to see SMART data from the remaining seven hard drives is to pull the first seven.
HD Tune Pro lists all of the drives, but it doesn't update the SMART data when I switch drives in the drop-down list. It shows all kinds of wrong info, including the wrong serial number for the drive selected, so I don't trust anything shown.
Are there any decent applications that will work with this many drives?
