SpeedFan for SMART interpretation

[Coffee is good :)]

This program is just what I've been looking for. It interprets a hard drive's SMART data and explains its findings in layman's terms. It's great for learning about the parts of SMART. And, it's a hardware monitor that displays the temps of the HDD, GPU, and CPU. Good stuff

I've tried this previously and found it too buggy to be relied upon in the field. Crystal Disk Info is better suited for the purpose.

Wikipedia is as good a resource as any for S.M.A.R.T. attribute descriptions.

Agreed. Wiki has a great explanation of the error codes and Crystaldisk is a great tool.
