Great BIT flawed!

Used Product For: Over One Year

There are still 2 big issues that I see. One is the SMART monitoring. I have 2 internal drives that are in a RAID 0 configuration (via Apple software). Every other application that queries SMART lists both drives separately. BUT Onyx completely fails, saying I don't have any SMART enabled drives.

There's also a crasher. The "Verify Startup Disk" function brings up the old thermometer, but soon it freezes. The app has crashed in pace, one needs to force quit it. This was an issue with the last "stable" release and is also true of this version.

Great BIT flawed! - Titanium06

Hi, It's not (yet) possible to verify SMART of RAID System with OnyX... and it's difficult, I cannot check because I have not a RAID System. Please read the alert message before verify your disk: During the verification, the Finder may act slow or become unresponsive, the spinning pinwheel may appear, or your computer could appear to stop responding (freeze). It's normal, please Wait!
