Hello,
SMART values Total Host Writes/Reads are wrong for my HDD.
For example for Total Host Reads it shows 2,644,386,408 GB. It is impossible to read that much data, at 150 MB/s (it is not SSD) it would take more than 500 years.
First problem is, that the value 2,644,386,408 is not complete. It is 9D9E2268 in hexadecimal.
But CrystalDiskInfo show 79D9E2268. So HWiNFO64 reads value as 32bit number, but it is 48bit number in reality.
9D9E2268 vs
79D9E2268
From wikipedia:
"0xF2 Total LBAs Read Total count of LBAs read. Some S.M.A.R.T. utilities will report a negative number for the raw value since in reality it has 48 bits rather than 32."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Monitoring,_Analysis_and_Reporting_Technology
Second problem is, that LBA is not GB
LBA is 512 bytes (at least in my case).
So the value should be multiplied by 512 and divided by 2^30 if you want to show it in GB.
Thanks for your work, the HWiNFO is amazing otherwise.
