WindowSMART 2013 is monitoring software that keeps an eye on the health of hard disks and Solid State Disks (SSDs), alerting users of any problems detected. Compatible with Windows XP through Windows 8, it is suitable for desktops, laptops, and servers.

This powerful software sends notifications via email, mobile devices running Android, Apple, and Windows Phone through native apps, and on the desktop with Growl or Snarl. In the event that a disk failure condition is detected, WindowSMART can quickly back up data from that disk to another local disk or to a network share. Additionally, if a disk overheats for 3+ consecutive polling intervals, you can set the software to shut down the computer automatically to prevent any damage to the disk.
WindowSMART 2013 supports most desktop and laptop disk controllers with no additional action required on your part. Nevertheless, some controllers may require you to perform a driver upgrade to collect SMART data from them. It also supports most external USB and FireWire enclosures. However, it is currently limited in its support for SAS controllers.
Apart from all these, the software offers many features, including running SMART self-tests such as short, extended, and conveyance. It also allows the user to export SMART results in various formats such as HTML, plain text, CSV, and TSV. This capability makes it easy to share results with colleagues or post them in an online forum to seek advice.
WindowSMART 2013 is available as a full-featured trial version for a full 30 days. After the trial period, a valid license key must be purchased; otherwise, the software will stop working. The license key is emailed to your address, usually within seconds of completing your order. The software package includes both 32- and 64-bit versions of WindowSMART 2013, and requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4. In case the framework is missing, the installer will inform you.
Finally, if you encounter a bug or have a feature request, the development team behind WindowSMART 2013 encourages you to inform them. You can report the bug and upload debug logs right from within the application, making it very convenient to get in touch with them.
