How can I use C# To read extended smart data?

Question

I know a bit of C++ and Java, but am wanting to learn c# on my own. To mess with, I\'m trying to read the SMART data of my hard drive. I have this C# Code, but I do not know

Answer 1

Note that not all SMART HDD info can be obtained from a single WMI query.

You need to query all the following to determine the current value, worst value, threshold, drive status and attribute status:

• Win32_DiskDrive
• MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus
• MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictData
• MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictThresholds
