What do the folks here use to keep an eye on drive SMART data? My system is Windows 7 Ultimate x64, if it matters.
I was running HWiNFO and it flagged up "Remaining Life:0" against my boot/C: drive…
Presumably, this had been working its way down from 100 to zero ever since I bought the PC in September 2012.
It would have been nice if something had told me "Disk failure likely within four weeks" rather than "Disk failure imminent", and coming across it by chance! I used to have such a monitor on my PC at work (I installed that one, but the details are lost in the mists of time).
I can't work out if I'd prefer email or popup notifications. I suspect that popup notifications might be a bit nerve racking, even when the failure is not anticipated for a few weeks.
