I have a 3ware 9650se card with 4 SATA drives attached to it. I've been trying to figure out how to convert the SMART data I can get from the web interface into something usable, but I haven't found a program that will just take what I give it and tell me what it means. Sure I could try and decipher it myself, but I'd rather not do that. So does anyone know of a program (could be online) where I can feed it the SMART data and it tells me what it means?

It should be fairly simple to compare the output you have with the manufacturer's documentation. See the detailed description of each SMART variable below:

You could let some software talk to the drives rather than using after-the-fact parsing. Smartmontools lists at least partial support for 3ware controllers

Yeah, you'd think that would be the easy way, but I can get Smartmontools to work, which is why I asked the question.. :) Guess I should have mentioned that. I don't want to install HDTune or anything like that on the server, since its a server... – Nori Nov 10 '09 at 14:07
