Home Server SMART 2.0.8.25

Home Server SMART is a Windows Home Server (WHS) add-in that automatically and continuously monitors the health of most of your hard disks attached to WHS. Home Server SMART examines the S.M.A.R.T. data exposed by your disks and determines the health of the disk. If problems are detected, Home Server SMART informs you which attribute(s) are critical or problematic, and it presents a summary of problems found. If the problems are serious, Home Server SMART will make a recommendation to you that you replace the disk.

Disks that are connected via IDE (PATA) and SATA (including eSATA), as well as a large number of USB disks (and possibly some FireWire disks), support Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) and report that S.M.A.R.T. data via the standard Microsoft storage driver (most modern PATA/SATA drives do), are fully supported. Unfortunately, most hardware RAID configurations are not supported, mainly because individual disks are not themselves exposed to the OS. Some USB enclosures, FireWire disks and other controllers that neither provide data via standard protocols nor WMI also will not provide data. Most users who use pre-build home servers (i.e. HP MediaSmart) shouldn't have any trouble. DIY home servers are the most likely to have one or more unsupported configurations, especially when RAID is used.

Simply log into the WHS Console, select the Home Server SMART add-in and immediately see all installed/connected disks. Click on a disk to see more details about the disk.
