DiskFailure 2.0.2

DiskFailure is a Mac OS X app with a single purpose: to warn you about a potential or imminent hard disk failure before the disk is rendered nonfunctional/data is lost.

DiskFailure will warn you trough alert dialogs, growl notifications and the menubar icon, it also features a detailed list of your drives and the monitored parameters for each.

DiskFailure also keeps track of these parameters trough all its lifetime to provide a cumulative slate of past history for any disk device connected.

DiskFailure is not only available as a standalone application but also as a MagicPrefs plugin that you get bundled within the standalone app.

Any drive is considered nearing imminent failure when any of the following conditions match:
- HDD:
· read/write errors over 100
· bad blocks over 10
· temperature over 68°C/155°F
· drive boot count is over 5000
