Hi Simon,

Since a few years, i have been interested in your studies on the recovery of SMART information from a hard drive and I like your work “SmartDisplay.hta” (nice aspect and very clear display).

Unfortunately, on all the drives I was able to test and concerning the number of hours of operation (id009 – POH), the displayed value is bad for me.

For the POH, the correct syntax (current for SATA drives) seems to be:

sData = Split(Join(.VendorSpecific, “,”), “,”)
item = 9
(sData(item + 8) * 65536 + sData(item + 7) * 4096 + sData(item + 6) * 256 + sData(item + 5))

and not (line 805) : tmpArray(4,j)

For the pleasure of your many fans I am, I hope this information will make you want to update your scripting work on SMART disks…

Best regards,
Stéphane
