Question

I asked a somewhat related question but I want it to make it more concrete and ‘programming’ oriented, so here it goes:

Does any body know, if there is a .NET, JAVA or any other Framework, library, .jar file or what ever: to access S.M.A.R.T. Statistics?

Thanks!

You can get SMART statistics from .Net via the System.Management and WMI class ‘MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData’.

Here is a short example that I created for you. Start a new console project and add a reference to the System.Management assembly, then paste this into Program.cs:

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Management;  namespace GetSMART {     class Program     {         static void Main(string[] args)         {             ManagementObjectSearcher searcher =              new ManagementObjectSearcher(                 'root\\WMI',                 'SELECT * FROM MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData'             );              foreach (ManagementObject item in searcher.Get())             {                 foreach( PropertyData prop in item.Properties )                 {                 Console.WriteLine('{0} = {1}',                     prop.Name, prop.Value);                 }             }              Console.ReadLine();         }     } }
