Smart Utility has challenged you to a duel...somewhat - cavenewt
As a Mac consultant, I like SmartReporter's emailing function. However, I don't think its predictive capability is anywhere near SMART Utility's. I've had SU warn me of numerous drives that were starting to suffer from bad blocks, where Disk Utility and, presumably Smart Reporter, don't give any hint till the spare blocks have been exhausted. And 80-90% of the drive failures I deal with are due to bad blocks.
