Q:

How can I read my hard drive’s SMART status in Windows 7?

How can I read the  S.M.A.R.T. state of my HDDs while using Windows 7, either automatically or manually?

A:

HDTune works on Windows 7 too.

A blog-post reference.

A:

HDTune is a good commercial software. Speedfan works too, which is free. The trick is you will need to start as Administrator under Windows 7 to see the hard disks. It also works in x64.

A:

Go to a command prompt and type: 
wmic

then at the wmic:root\cli> prompt:
diskdrive get status

Or if you want other information, you can try options other than "status". The other options are found here.
