Roger H. Veteran Posted January 23, 2002 Veteran Share Posted January 23, 2002 ok... didn't take to long to find this from my personal buttler.. jeeves as in Ask Jeeves @ www.ask.com: Active SMART is an award winning hard disk status analyzer and failure prediction software for your hard drive. It uses S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) to monitor the health status of Hard Disk Drives (HDD), prevents data loss and predicts possible drive fail using special algorithms.... read the rest here.... http://www.ariolic.com/activesmart/index.html That's not the original version but it just adds on more info about it...
