The record

Purpose: SMART Utility reads and displays hard drive SMART attributes and can run a drive’s built-in self-test.
Early warning: Its internal algorithm analyzes drive attributes to detect potential failure before the drive’s overall SMART status indicates failure.
Drive support: The app supports HDDs and SSDs, and has limited support for external drives.
Drive details: It displays drive model, capacity, power-on hours, temperature, bad-sector counts, error counts, and error types.
Notifications: It supports Growl notifications when installed and email notifications when configured.
Monitoring: It supports background scanning and can show drive information in the menu bar.
Reports: Users can log drive information, save reports for later viewing, and print reports.
RAID support: It supports scanning OS X software RAID drives and drives in many RAID enclosures and cards.
External drive limit: Some external drives require the optional SAT SMART driver, and some enclosures do not expose the commands needed to read SMART data.
Underlying technology: SMART Utility parses output from the open-source smartmontools package, which performs the SMART attribute scanning.
Support: The maker offers support by email or Twitter and provides a SMART Utility FAQ.
Compatibility: The product page lists support for OS X 10.9 through 10.15, while its current download link is labeled for versions 10.9 to 26.0.
False positives: The maker says its failing-drive algorithm is usually accurate but can sometimes produce false positives.
Company: Volitans Software was founded by Matthew J. Butch on February 22, 2007, and operates from Pennsylvania.
