| 445199 | 2006-04-09 10:25:00 | Is there a SMART program that will support RAID disks? I have looked but all the ones I have found say they only work with IDE or SATA drives in a non-RAID array. |

| 445200 | 2006-04-09 11:48:00 | Thats because the raid controller takes over the reads and writes to the drives, however most raid controllers do have a monitoring program that tells you the state of the array and normally the status of each device within the array. Which raid controller are you using? |

It has to do with the SCSI driver but the hardware supports it so something should be able look past the driver direct to the drives and get the information there as they do show seperate drives in the BIOS and whats visible in the BIOS should be visible via software as well. | Big John (551) | ||
| 445202 | 2006-04-12 09:02:00 | check intel docs. a lot of raid chips don't "let through" the smart info. the intel doco sould say if it supports smart or not. | tweak'e (69) | ||
