January 4, 20188 yr Hi, is there a way I can get a bulk SMART report - i.e. a listing of all the drives without needing to click through each one in the Drives menu? I just like to see which is my oldest drive and hence the one to replace. Thanks.
January 4, 20188 yr If you click on Tools/Diagnostics you can get a zip file with the SMART dump from every disk. You still get one file/disk, but it's quite quick to view the individual files. Just note that it is seldom the oldest disk that is the best to replace, since the drives are individuals and ages differently. So it's best to look at more than the number of power-on hours before making your decision.

Yeah, I tried this, but even on a 2460x1440 screen, I have to scroll up and down each time I change drives It would be neat if we could get a table format of all SMART data (i.e. one row per drive, each column is a smart attribute). Synology does something like this with their HDD Management screen. @pwm, thanks for letting me know about the Tools/Diagnostics zip file, I think this might be the easiest way for me to get the data. Thanks. Edited January 5, 20188 yr by coolspot
