## Note by the original author:
|
|
> Tested against Crystal Disk Info 5.3.1 and HD Tune Pro 3.5 on 15 Feb 2013.
|
|
> Findings; I do not trust the individual smart register "OK" status reported back frm the drives.
|
|
> I have tested faulty drives and they return an OK status on nearly all applications except HD Tune.
|
|
> After further research I see HD Tune is checking specific attribute values against their thresholds and and making a determination of their own (which is good) for whether the disk is in good condition or not.
|
|
> I recommend whoever uses this code to do the same. For example --> "Reallocated sector count" - the general threshold is 36, but even if 1 sector is reallocated I want to know about it and it should be flagged.

# Development
|
|
This section is focussed on development of SmartHDD, in case you want to build your own version(s).
|
|
|
|
## Environment
|
|
This application was written using Visual Studio 2015 and .NET Framework 4.5.2 on Windows 10 1511.
|
|
It will most likely build fine on different configurations, but might require some modifications.
|
|
|
|
## Updating the version number
|
|
The version number is stored in two locations:
|
|
* In the projects assembly info file: **'SmartHDD\Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs'**
