Plenty of tools available to check SATA SSD connected to Intel controller, but how would you go about checking SMART data on SAS/SATA SSD connected to a LSI HBA in a machine running windows ? Is there any apps that would translate the different binary value to something readable ??

Thanks

HDD Guardian didn't show my Seagate ST200FM0073 (SAS 12, 200GB) drive. However, i find Hard Disk Sentinel 5.0.1 Pro (Trial) providing very detailed results of everything attached to my IBM SAS HBA (passthru bios) controller. Also has very professional and not too flashy UI; allows email notifications, reporting and so on....

I don't like UI and performance of SeaTools and Crucial Storage Executive; but both of them have capability of finding your newest firmware which is not possible with HD Sentinel.
