I have a HD Samsung HD103UJ (1Tb) (SATA III) as a secondary HD.
The HD works fine, but when I want to check SMART values with HD Tune, SMART is disable.

I have revise BIOS parameters and SMART is enable, also I have try with auto, but HD SMART is not working.

Any idea ?

Nothing to do with BIOS setting, neither does it mean the drive is faulty. It's HD Tune, a known issue with some drive interfaces (eg it wouldn't show SMART data for any of my external hard drives (4) so I dumped it.).

Use some other utility to see SMART data if you really must, the data is unfathomable to most of us anyway and you shouldn't read too much into it.

I got problems in other HD, this is why I am checking also this.
As mention, work fine and is my last one.

Thank you for your comments.

If you want to check a hard drive to see if it's healthy or faulty, use drive manufacturer's diagnostic software instead of HD Tune.
