is it worth turning this on? what does it do?

S.M.A.R.T. technology?


thanks
 
basically it lets you know if there is impending hard-drive failure...

I leave mine on all teh time..

if it says imminent failure it allows you time to migrate data from one storage device to another...
 
of course, now i can't remember how to turn it on. can anyone help or is it something i would have to buy?
 
you set it in the BIOS, but I wouldn't just totally rely on S.M.A.R.T. to tell you your drive is going to fail.
 
it's been telling me for 5 month's 1 of my raid array drives was on it's way out...

funny thing happend this morning (right b4 i was going to make a backup *cough* )

it died 😕

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. 🙁

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
