A small utility I wrote to check SMART status of all connected hard drives and show results along with various other bits of information about the drives

Runs in PE or normal Windows

Make sure you use the correct exe depending on your build e.g. x86 or x64

Quite self explanatory to use - click Scan button to detect all hard drives in system and collect data from them, you can also run tests, export results etc using the various buttons on the main interface

Program requires .NET plugin to be enabled in PE - tested with Win10XPE 64-bit with and without WoW64 Basic support checked

.NET version = 4.6.1

Was written for my own requirements but perhaps may be useful to someone else as well 

Any problems please send me a PM along with following information - Windows version of your host including whether 32 or 64-bit, along with any errors messages or screenshots to help me fix problems

Hi dazza,

Can you write about .Net FrameWork version you develop and Test your Applications.

When it is about .Net, things change rapidly in some years. 
 It is always good end user know about detailed .Net version numbers developer used and tested the application.

Something looks simple today, but for better future. 

Dazza these look really nice and seem like they would be well used if added to default PESE build.  If testing reveals they work well would I be allowed to do that by you? Do they contain any ms files? Or all your original works?

Disk Check does not detect my m.2 NVME SSD (Samsung PRO 970) it only detects my secondary sata SSD Samsung EVO 860

I'm getting an unhandled exception error when running this tool.

Hi dazza,

It works fine but after boot better wait a minute before using Disk Check (PE) x64

I guess some time required before .NetFramework get fully operational

Tested with Azin  Win10_1909_English_x64 using "Basic Project" Enabled
 + Azin\Components\".Net Framework S" Plugin
 - (no MMC)

ps: on Virtual Test, Info is empty 

Yes I have noticed with some other .NET apps that it does seem there is a delay on boot before fully operational

On a virtual test I would expect the info to be empty as it directly communicates with hardware to get results, and can't do this when the hard disk it is seeing is a virtual one

I had issues running X86 one under a 64 bit build hence creating separate versions as the information it needs to access changes depending on being x86 or x64 so if you are running x86 version on a 64-bit build then I wouldn't expect it to work

Other components it uses such as smartctl are bit specific hence separate version for x86 and x64
