Developer’s Description

Receive warnings about potential HDD failures before they happen.

SMARTReporter is an application that can warn you of some hard disk drive failures before they actually happen! It does so by periodically polling the built-in S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard disk drives as well as performing other checks for "I/O errors" or R.A.I.D "degradation". The current status of your hard disk drives is always easily recognizable because SMARTReporter changes its icon (optionally in the menubar) from green to red if a problem occurs.

SMARTReporter periodically checks the built-in S.M.A.R.T. status of all compatible connected disks. S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a technology built into most modern hard disk drives that acts as an "early warning system" for pending hard disk drive problems. SMARTReporter has the unique capability to check the system kernel log-file for occurrences of dangerous "I/O errors" to improve the disk failure prediction accuracy. SMARTReporter can automatically check whether connected R.A.I.D. sets become "degraded" or just "offline". SMARTReporter can also monitor the free disk space because a completely filled boot disk might lead to system lockups. SMARTReporter has completely customizable notification options for all four disk checks including notification via changing application icons, email, alert dialogue, on-screen notification (Growl or OS X 10.8 native), or by launching arbitrary applications / scripts. SMARTReporter supports a variety of advanced options and tools including automated S.M.A.R.T self-tests, scheduled S.M.A.R.T. attribute checking and plotting graphs of all acquired data over time. Please note that the S.M.A.R.T. self-test/attribute-check features aren't officially supported.

Great Peace Of Mind App
enderbyguyJune 15, 2013
Pros
As I stated, a great peace of mind app
Cons
None. Just quietly works in the background and lets me know my Mac is healthy. As a web developer, I need to know that back up now is necessary.
Summary
This will be installed on all 4 of my Macs. I highly recommend this to all Mac users.
It simply WORKS!

Pros
When I didn't have this type of utility my hard drive crashed and I lost data. This manages my fears.
Cons
I wish it was free
Summary
PAY??????? (That should meet the minimum.)

Pros
The little green dot looks cute.
Cons
In my experience, it's useless.
Summary
It didn't warn me about my failing hard drive when it was free. Am I given to understand it'll do a better job if I pay for it?
Hard drive failed and "SmartReporter" gave no warning.

Pros
none that i know of
Cons
Doesn't do anything
Summary
I had this installed on my MacBookPro since it was new. All the time the icon was green. Eventually my hard drive failed, and needed to be replaced. This product gave no warning, and as such is useless.
This app is an excellent way to diagnose your harddrive
