Hi!
I found out that the powershell version without smartmontools is not working the hard way, because we had a failing disk in a multi disk raid system, smart reported pending sectors but powershell reported no errors.
I don’t want to wait until the disk is totally gone, I want to swap and recover on the first sign of upcoming trouble.
To test this, I got a disk with SMART errors just for testing in my machine, and powershell thinks it is fine…
