Hiya,
There's a pretty cool Windows tool in "SpeedFan" that uses S.M.A.R.T. data.
S.M.A.R.T. enabled drives can report to the O.S. tons of run-time conditions.
These get compared to statistics in SpeedFan's tables to predict and chart
failures.

We assume no security is worth anything so you must secure through
