S.M.A.R.T. options

	Enable S.M.A.R.T. monitoring

	If this setting is disabled, S.M.A.R.T. checks will be just skipped altogether. All the devices will be reported as not S.M.A.R.T.-capable even if they do, in fact, support it.

	S.M.A.R.T. poll interval

	Sets the interval between S.M.A.R.T. status requests, in seconds. Disk status is polled and checked at the end of the interval. Default value of five seconds should fit most applications. Setting lower interval (higher polling frequency) may slow down processing slightly. Increasing the interval is generally acceptable if there is no reason to suspect physical damage of the device.

	Pause if temperature exceeds the limit

	If the drive temperature exceeds the limit specified, the processing will be paused until the drive cools down on its own. We strongly recommend that you do not increase the default limit of 60 deg C. If temp limit is exceeded too often, consider some cooling improvement (most simplistic approach is to remove chassis cover and use an office fan to blow the air through the chassis; 19 inch stand fan at full speed will do the trick in most cases). Drive temperature depends upon many factors, the most significant being I/O load. Increasing load causes temperature to rise. Ventilation design, including chassis setup, number and configuration of cooling fans. Power supply unit output. PSU providing excessively high voltage can cause drive electronics to overheat. Ambient temperature. Any heat produced during operation of the drive will ultimately end up dissipated into the ambient air. Effective cooling is not possible if the ambient air itself is hot.

This small piece of software, within minutes of downloading, made me the happiest guy in the world. My camera did something weird to my SmartMedia card, rendering it useless. Upon card insertion, the camera and subsequent computers asked if I wished to format the card. I did NOT format the card, because I had just spent 2 hours taking promo pictures for my business in lots of different locations, and figured SOMEbody could figure it out... [...] When I found this program, although it took a minute or two to figure out which "number" went with my USB SmartMedia reader, I clicked a few buttons, and this program went right to work. It took about 5-10 seconds per picture to recover - I was ELATED! Thank you for providing this piece of software for free. I figure the least I could do was come back to say thank you.
