GSmartControl has been updated today to version 0.9.0; almost five years after its previous release (0.8.7):

GSmartControl 0.9.0 released. See the Downloads page.
Changes include:

  • Implemented (untested) support for Linux-based Areca controllers with enclosures.
  • Implemented (untested) support for Windows-based Areca controllers (thanks to Richard Kagerer).
  • Implemented (untested) support for Linux-based HP controllers with cciss and hpsa/hpahcisr drivers (thanks to Fabrice Bacchella).
  • Changes in Preferences no longer fail silently until re-scan/restart.
  • Better drive detection under Windows after removable drives are detached.
  • Windows version is no longer marked as "dpi aware" since it's not supported that well.
  • Drive attribute descriptions have been updated (including clarifications for SSDs).
  • Added support for SSD-only and HDD-only vendor attributes.
  • Devices having only basic info can be displayed now in the info window.
  • Fixed BD-RW drive detection (it was detected as a HDD).
  • Other minor improvements.
  • A number of issues have been fixed (including a crash).
Also, the Windows version now includes smartctl and update-smart-drivedb.exe from smartmontools 6.5.
