Advanced SmartCheck is a unique software program that is designed to provide detailed and comprehensive information about the hard drive health on all your network computers and help prevent hard drive failure and loss of important and valuable data.

Advanced SmartCheck can monitor hard drives health of a lot of computers and display all statistics at a single workplace, higliting the most dangerous changes in a drives health and displaying it to the Network Administrator or sending report by E-mail.

S.M.A.R.T. stands for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. It was developed by a number of major Hard Disk Drive Manufacturers in a concerted effort to increase the reliability of drives. It is a technology that enables the PC to predict the future failure of hard disk drives. S.M.A.R.T. technology has become an industry standard for hard drive manufacturers.

The S.M.A.R.T. system does just what its name implies it does. It monitors the drive for anything that might seem out of the ordinary, documents it, and analyzes the data. If it sees something that indicates a problem, it is capable of notifying the user (or, if applicable, the system administrator). S.M.A.R.T. monitors the disks performance, bad sectors, calibration, CRC errors, disk spin up time, distance between the head and the disk, temperature, features of medium, heads, motor or servo-mechanism. In all, over 35 attributes are covered by S.M.A.R.T. The errors that the system can detect can be predicted by a number of methods. Currently the SMART system can detect around 70% of all hard drive errors.

For example, motor and/or bearing failure can be predicted by an increase in the drive spin-up time and the number of retries it takes to succeed in spinning up the drive. Or, if the drive notes that the error correction is being used excessively, it can attribute this to a broken drive head or contamination, and alert you before the problem gets worse. Armed with a failure prediction, the user or system manager can back up key data, replace a suspect device prior to data loss, or avoid undesired downtime.

Advanced SmartCheck uses S.M.A.R.T. technology to monitor all networked PC's hard drives internal S.M.A.R.T. attributes, predict possible drive failure and prevent data loss. Using predictions settings, Advanced SmartCheck lets you know about a potential disk health problem before you lose valuable data.
