    HWINFO: HDD clicking, when SMART monitoring is enabled.

    I found also another bug - triggering SMART/emb with low values causes cpu utilization spiking up, games stuttering every smart/emb check. Cpu i5-10400. But increasing to above 1000 solves this problem. I tested it with only nvme ssd.

    HWINFO: HDD clicking, when SMART monitoring is enabled.

    I found on my side it is not drive's firmware, but motherboard's SATA controller, triggered by hwinfo - it starts do trash things with hdd's/ssd's. With default settings, without hwinfo sata monitor everything is fine. All fine when i use AIDA64 and HDD Sentinel Pro. But only hwinfo makes sata...

    HWINFO: HDD clicking, when SMART monitoring is enabled.

    Yes, what i did - i disabled all HDD/SSD monitoring and this clicking sound is gone! But! For people, who want to fix this clicking - this is SATA controller triggering and trashing HDD/SSD - this is not safe at all, as author says! It still triggers even if you rebooted your PC, i tested on...

    HWINFO: HDD clicking, when SMART monitoring is enabled.

    Yes, it happens on SATA drive. Today i made a test on all hard drives that i have since 2002. In all drives older than 2015 there is a clicking sound. There is no clicking sound on new drives like Seagate 2DM164 (2Tb drive), but the little noisy sound can be detected, like drive is restarting...

    I forgot to say - this clicking sound does not happens if HWINFO is not running in any way (booting, shutting down, copying, downloading).

    HWINFO: HDD clicking, when SMART monitoring is enabled.

    This issue is started since version 7++, it does not happens on 7.00 and older versions. I found it happens mostly with hard drives, manufactured 10-12 years ago. All of them are working just fine, there is no troubles using AIDA64, Hard Disk Sentinel Pro, CrystalDiskInfo and other utilities. I...
