snkcube Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I was looking through Speccy today and went to the hard drive section of the program. I was in shock that my hard drive SMART status was labeled as bad so I went and downloaded smartmontools to see if my hard drive was really in deep trouble. I ran a SMART scan there and my hard drive passed with no problems. So my question is, which program should I trust more regarding my SMART status? Is it possible that one program is giving me inaccurate information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Could you post a screen dump of Speccy's S.M.A.R.T status readings and using HD Tune. Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snkcube Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Here's a screenshot of Speccy. Using HD Tune, my hard drive's health status is ok. However, nothing is displayed when I check the health tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 This looks like a Speccy bug it's suppose to show the S.M.A.R.T data entries but they're missing for some reason. Since you've checked your hard drive with HD Tune and smartmontools I think there's nothing to worry about. Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
