System Requirements

• Pentium or compatible CPU
• 32 megabytes of system memory
  
• 15 megabytes of hard disk space
  
• Windows operating system (Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, 2008, Vista, Windows 7, Windows Home Server) both 32 and 64 bit versions
  
• System administrator account (in service mode, it is possible to use without administrator rights and without even user logged in)
  
• One or more hard disk or solid state disk with ATA (IDE or Serial ATA/SATA II), SCSI, SAS, USB interface.
  USB hard disk support depends on the USB-ATA bridge chips.
  Other type of external disks (USB or IEEE 1394) are NOT supported because the hard disk controller chip in the external enclosure does not support the detection of S.M.A.R.T. information.
  

Note: RAID arrays usually do not provide S.M.A.R.T. informations. However, standalone hard disks connected to standard RAID controllers (for example motherboard integrated RAID controllers, like NVidia, Intel RAID) provide this information most of the time. If you have good or bad experiences or compatibility problems, please let us know.

Note: The software can read and display all such information about hard disks inside the arrays if the RAID array is controlled by a compatible RAID controller card. It is also possible to manage these drives like standalone drives.

Note: hard disk controller drivers can also cause incompatibility problems and this case not all hard disk information may be displayed. For more information, please check the compatibility page and for some solutions, please read the information in the F.A.Q.
