S.m.a.r.t Mac Software

| Posted on by

The BIOS S.M.A.R.T. Function did not show any problems.According to the table, the Values (100 and above) are very far from the corresponding Threshold limits. Most of them (Value = 100) are still on the theoretical maximum. If we would use the traditional evaluation method (by checking the values and thresholds), the hard disk condition seems to be perfect.

Capabilities and Requirements:

Smart mac

Supported storage devices:

Mac
  • IDE (ATA) and SATA HDD.
  • SCSI (SAS) HDD.
  • External USB drives and all major USB boxes (see Appendix A).
  • FireWire or IEEE 1394 HDD (see Appendix A).
  • RAID volumes made of ATA (IDE) / SATA / SCSI HDDs (surface tests only).
  • USB Flash (pen drives) – surface tests only.
  • SATA / ATA SSD – solid state drives.

Storage device tests:

  • Verification in linear mode – fastest way to determine if your drive needs data rescue, has recoverable errors or in its perfect shape.
  • Reading in linear mode – same as verification but also transfers data to the host.
  • Erasing in linear mode.
  • Reading in Butterfly mode (synthetic random read).
