JonRosenSystems Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Since the SMART data for hard drives is displayed in hexadecimal, it would be useful to convert the data to decimal in a second column, along with a heading for each data column (hex, decimal) to label the data. Also, the SMART data is always padded with zeroes, making it hard to read single digits. Highlighting the non-zero digits in green or red would improve the visibility of the data. SMART power-on time should also be reported in power-on hours, not just days, so it would be helpful to display both in the report. Since most manufacturers rate their hard drives at 50,000 power-on hours for average life expectancy, it would also be helpful to calculate percentage life expectancy using power-on hours as a percentage of 50,000.

Super Fast Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Don't know of newer SSD drives would cause a flux of change in the average power on hours, but certainly seems the features you suggest would be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
