[SOLVED] Any bootable hard drive scanner SMART utility for macs?

[Rodion15]

Hi, I know there're tools such as bootcd and hiren's that have these tools, but I guess they won't work for macs. Anyone knows of a bootable usb or CD for mac storage testing, especially to scan the disk fully.

  ■ Reboot into the USB installation

Voila, you've got everything you need and more!
