| | There must be functionality that my version of HDTune does not provide. I see no way that this application can help me predict when I am going to have a HDD failure. Is there more to HDTune than this snip reveals?  Is the S.M.A.R.T feature available in Windows 7 Home Premium? |

| | All you had to do was press "Health" in HDtune. You have used the benchmarking function instead. |
