As a photographer, I’m always concerned about drive failure because I know it will happen to all of my drives. What I don’t know is when.DriveDx exposes low-level information of internal sensors, pre-fail indicators and lifetime accumulators of information that have allowed me to anticipate problems before they affect my system. As a result, I sent external drive back to LaCie for exchange under warranty due to anticipated drive failure.This is one of the best investments you can make in your system. I recommend it highly.

And Scannerz Lite for Mac OS X. Overview This introductory document is intended to illustrate how to perform basic tests on hard drives, SSDs,.
Absolute Must for the OS 'Toolkit'! I was having some serious issues with an SSD hybrid drive on my macbook pro, and well since seagate doesn't support mac, their 'seatools' software was useless (and required) for getting a proper exchange. That one event way more than paid for the price of the software. THIS software generated a report that was acceptable for me to get my exchange, and before the drive died completely.
Got my replacement drive and I will most certainly never go back to not having it installed. I have a not so supported fusion drive in my Macbook Pro. There has never been any way to see the S.M.A.R.T. Decided to give this a try and the first thing that pops up is that my Crucial M4 SSD was close to failure because of a bug in the microcode. I have not tried to use this to look at my USB attached drives, since the only one I have is a small external that I boot from in emergencies.
But DriveDx not only clearly sees both drives making up my fusion drive, but it also shows me the status of my 3 eSATA drives.
