Main window

 

On the top of the Active SMART window you can find a list of drives installed in your system. Active SMART supports both IDE (ATA) drives and SCSI drives (please visit our website to download SCSI version of Active SMART). You can select the drive from this list to view it's parameters of change it's settings. All drive information listed in the tabs below the drives list.


The list of drive contains of drive model name, it's location in the system (Primary/Secondary/Master/Slave drive), it's capacity, drive temperature (if the drive support this feature) and overall drive status as OK or BAD word.
OK means that all drive's S.M.A.R.T. attributes are normal, drive temperature is normal and no T.E.C. detected (i.e. SMART didn't report any warnings about drive's health).

BAD word means that T.E.C. detected for the current drive (i.e. drive's SMART sensors reported an error condition of some of drive parts). In this case you should immediately backup information on this drive.
