SMARTReporter v2.1.5 Now Supports Intel-Based Macs

SMARTReporter is a free application that can warn you of ATA hard-drive failures before they actually happen! It does so by periodically polling the S.M.A.R.T.-status of your hard-drives. S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a technology built into most modern hard-drives that acts as an "early warning system" for pending drive problems. Because SMARTReporter relies on the S.M.A.R.T. implementation of Mac OS X, it only supports ATA or S-ATA hard-drives. SMARTReporter is available for download via MacUpdate.com.

New in 2.1.5:

• Make SMARTReporter finally work on the Intel-Macs
• Fixed a crash on Laptops that had a Flash-Card inserted
• Fixed a small memory leak
• Fixed a bug in the Disk-Image-packaging
• Fixed French translation (thanks to Ronald Leroux)
• Added a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions - with answers ;-)
• Added some string-localizations

We have used SMARTReporter on our Power PC Macs for some time but we have never had an internal drive go bad so we have not seen it work. [Dana Baggett]
