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!

• Jan Jungnickel: You should maybe reword your question, judging from the accepted answer you want this to work for windows only.

Answer 1

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();
 }
 }
}

• ramayac: Beautiful, thank you!... too bad it isn't Java hehe.
• Wayne Bloss: No problem. FYI, I just searched for Java WMI and there are a lot of articles out there.
