Hi Kyle,

I just downloaded HDDExpert_Lite (from your website). You may want to know that it does not detect my HDD (probably because it's in an Intel RST RAID configuration with a 32GB mSSD)!

You can find info on my notebook here...
http://support.hp.com/us-en/product...ment-Notebook-PC-series/5275442/model/5276633
...and I'm running Win7 SP1 x64.

May i have a screenshot please ?
(either or, or by email to support [AT] kcsoftwares.com )
Thanks !

 

Kyle, here's your screenshot - the search bar goes indefinitely!.

 

Thanks !
Unfortunately, that's a known bug still under investigation...

Does this new build provide a fix for the bug I reported in posts 106 &108?

 

Not yet, sorry (i still don't know how to fix it)

I guess, this was not really implemented, since it still says "failures detected".

 

Not yet
Btw i assume that your disk's a Seagate ?
If yes, you're facing this bug : http://www.kcsoftwares.com/bugs/view.php?id=3542

Kyle, Just installed HDDexpert. Nice. Perhaps you can give me some advice.
In windows 7 I saw these errors twice in the last year (ever since I installed windows 10)
- Correcting errors in the master file table's (MFT) BITMAP attribute.
- Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap.

And in windows 10 I see 20-40 thousand lines like these almost every time in chkdsk:
- Deleting extended attribute set due to the presence of reparse point in file 300428.
- 32542 reparse records processed.

I don't know if these are windows errors or drive errors.
Given these errors and HDDexpert shot, is my 3 year old drive really in trouble?

 

Looking at HDDExpert, i see no reason to worry, except if you see a quick degradation of these parameters, in particular 0xC4

 

Thanks! I'll be watching it now that I have a tool.
Nice utility, just like SUMo.

 

Thank you for this feedback

 

13 months later and after installing latest version it seems that you still haven't figured out how to fix this problem!

 

To access the S.M.A.R.T.-Values of a RAID configuration connected to an Intel RST, specific I/O-controls are needed to access them (the standard I/O-controls are not sufficient for this)
The Intel driver implements "CSMI" (Common Storage Management Interface), so HDDexpert must have CSMI support to be able to see the disk.
And it seems that HDDexpert doesn't have CSMI support:

 

That's exactly the problem !
