tameone Posted August 11, 2006 I can't get the SMART functionality to work for any hard drive, or I can't get any program to recognise the drives as being smart compliant. I enabled SMART in my bios. I have tried several programs including Everest Ultimate, but nothing works. For the love of xxxx I just want to read the internal thermal sensors on my drives :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azn Tr14dz Posted August 11, 2006 Sometimes S.M.A.R.T. won't work if you have a RAID setup. I tried enabling S.M.A.R.T. on my 2 HDDs in RAID 0, and guess what? No boot! So I'm doing the 8+ Hour CMOS clear, then when I get back from school if it doesn't work, I'm gonna try to remove and reseat/reinstall the CPU and everything else (it's reading 4 LEDs so maybe it's not reading the CPU right). At least you still have yours running. But not too many people have S.M.A.R.T. enabled and have RAID 0 at the same time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BFG Posted August 11, 2006 Are you sure that your hardrive support SMART? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n_w95482 Posted August 11, 2006 Almost every hard drive in the past 6-8 years supports it so it probably does . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cellyboo Posted August 11, 2006 AFAIK sata drives doesn't support S.M.A.R.T. only pata does. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Traveller Posted August 11, 2006 I have the three SATA drives in my sig and they all support SMART. I read the temps with MBM5. The RAID set-up may be causing your problems. Try MBM5 and see if it will read your temps. Also, the second boot screen will say if SMART is enabled for each HDD. If the message doesn't show, then the BIOS isn't seeing the HDD's as SMART capable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soundx98 Posted August 11, 2006 SMART cannot read the drives if they are in a RAID 0 array SMART will read both SATA and PATA drives. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n1ce_hat Posted August 11, 2006 my sata is very smart, but for some reason my pata drive wont spit out it's smartness.. never really put much time into trying to figure it out though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowpro Posted August 12, 2006 Another FYI You dont need SMART enabled to monitor temps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p0tter Posted August 12, 2006 SMART cannot read the drives if they are in a RAID 0 arraySMART will read both SATA and PATA drives. SMART is not as smart as it should be... laughs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
