Field notes
The homepage demonstrates SMART values from a WDC WD5000AADS connected through an RTL9201R bridge, including temperature, power-on hours, and selected critical counters. Its setup notes distinguish 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive needs: the latter require external 12 V and 5 V power, and SMART support depends on the USB–SATA bridge. The page describes the app and Premium scanning features, but marks Google Play as coming soon.
