Many may already know about this software. It is worth a download. It gathers all of the "SMART" data from compatiable drives (almost all drives use SMART).

It tells you things like how many errors the drive is having and it even reads the temps for all 5 of my hard drives!

I've never been a fan of ActiveSMART (one of the so-called "best" smart proggys), because I have problems with it not detecting all my disks / crashing when monitoring. I currently use SpeedFan to check the drives every few days and it works well for me. Might give this passmark proggy a look though - won't hurt to try it :).
