Volitans Software has announced the update of SMART Utility to version 3.0, a major update that adds a menu extra for running in the background, an improved user interface for single partitions and better support of solid-state drives (SSDs), along with numerous enhancements and fixes. The program not only reads hard drives' built-in SMART reporting tools but scans for bad sectors, reports minutia about hard drives (such as total power-on hours, temperature and error counts) and alerts users of signs of impending failure.
