Active SMART SCSI2.41

Active SMART SCSI is a lightweight piece of software designed to help you keep an eye on SCSI drives so that you can predict potential issues that lead to failure and respective, data loss.

Quick installation, but old-school interface

The setup is quick, straightforward and does not require any special attention from your part. Upon launch, you are welcomed by a rather rugged interface that comprises of a small window that features multiple tabs. On a side note, the tool automatically checks your system to detect SCSI drives and verifies their health status upon first launch.The application provides you with a wide variety of information about your drives, including, but not limited to a manufacturer, model, serial number, capacity, firmware revision and specifies whether the S.M.A.R.T. monitoring is enabled. Moreover, the program displays data about the number of LBA sectors, logical cylinders, multiword DMA mode and other parameters that are available with your drive.

Provides you with an S.M.A.R.T. attributes report

While it offers an S.M.A.R.T. attributes report, you should bear in mind that the log is in concordance with the implementation of the IDE devices. Then again, you should be able to preview details such as soft read error rate, seek time performance, raw read error rate and emergency retract cycle, for instance, from the dedicated tab.Depending on the health status of the SCSI drive, you can configure the application to enable monitoring at startup and log events that occur. In addition, you can set the tool to send alerts in the form of popup messages, emails, play a sound or network messages when the drive reaches the critical temperature your reach.

A useful tool for monitoring SCSI RAID drives

In the eventuality that you have SCSI RAID drives in your system and you want to make sure that they are working at optimal performance and your data is safe, then perhaps Active SMART SCSI can come in handy.
