ID Cur Wor Thr RawValues(6) Attribute Name This spits out the TXT into > C:\Program Files\CrystalDiskInfo\DiskInfo.txt >ĬrystalDiskInfo 8.15.2 (C) 2008-2022 hiyohiyo So first You install the CrystalDiskInfo, create a new PS scanner and run this: My aim is to create a Powershell scanner, that would run the previously installed CrystalDiskInfo in the CopyExit mode so that it spits out the output (done successfully) and parse the output into the columns in PDQ Inventory PS scanner output (this part I cannot do). So I decided to act on this problem and want to use the reliable SMART analysis as the users' data are at risk and we do not know about it.

When You compare the data with the output of CrystalDiskInfo, you find out, that SMART already has been shouting for years on many computers in the network while the PCs are reported slow by the end-users and after a thorough analysis you usually find unreadable or corrupted data on the drive. As the PDQ disk SMART status data are based on WMI, it lies as well. As You may already have found out, the WMI-based HDD SMART data analysis lies and never tells a word about a HDD going to the silicon heaven.
