Active SMART SCSI Description

If you want to monitor SCSI drives then you can try Active SMART SCSI version. It supports hard drives on SCSI controllers and SCSI RAID arrays. This version recognizes up to 4 IDE/ATA and up to 8 SCSI drives. We can add support for more SCSI or IDE devices upon your request. Active SMART SCSI version supports S.M.A.R.T. technology on both IDE (ATA) and SCSI devices. However SCSI drives use another method of reporting their S.M.A.R.T. status, in concordance with S.M.A.R.T. implementation for IDE devices. They do not report detailed information about supported attributes and do not support reporting of detailed statistics about S.M.A.R.T. attributes. SCSI drives report only overall S.M.A.R.T. status of the disk. Active SMART monitors this status and uses other drive health-status related features of SCSI drives to provide early notification about possible drive failure. Also Active SMART SCSI version supports the SCSI drive thermal sensors and can be used to trace the hard drive temperature and prevent its overheating. When Active SMART is to be used to monitor SCSI drives or RAID arrays, the WINASPI driver must be loaded and started on both Windows 95/98 and Windows 2k/XP/NT machines. The ASPI driver handles communications between the SCSI controller and the system. The driver is NOT normally required for Hard Disk Drives to function if no other SCSI devices are present. If the WINASPI Driver is not installed Active SMART will not be able to monitor the S.M.A.R.T. Alerts issued by the drive, nor will drive information be displayed. All other functions of Active SMART are not affected.
