SMART for Intel RAID

[Petr Soucek]

Hello Fiery,

it seems to be possible to display SMART data for all HDDs in RAID arrays based on Intel ICH[78910]R southbridge. Intel SSD Toolbox displays them:

Verified on several boxes with RAID 1 on ICH7R and ICH9R.

Regards,

Petr

Thank you for the tip. We've enhanced the RAID member enumeration and implemented SMART information readout for Intel ICH/PCH RAID controllers.

Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at:

http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1123r4ivje6xphzip

After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

Let me know how it works.

Please note that Intel's Rapid RAID drivers feature a bug about the ATA passthrough interface. SMART thresholds readout returns the same data than SMART attribute values readout. Hence the thresholds column shown in Intel SSD ToolBox shows garbage (invalid) data. We've implemented a trick to detect that driver bug and ignore the thresholds data when it is invalid. We've notified Intel about this driver bug, and as soon as they fix it, AIDA64 will start showing valid thresholds data.

Thanks,

Fiery
