I used the following keywords: bluescreen,crash,dump,controller,raid,disk

But it was designed to cover a lot more scenarios.

Thanks for the post about what you do. I thought I would add to the community and say what's happened at our place. I've just had a failure on our server RAID and it has had to be rebuilt. I copied the keywords you suggested "bluescreen,crash,dump,controller,raid,disk" and i didnt get a warning. The events created in event viewer are list below. I was hoping of using PCMonitor to warn me when hard drives failures, any ideas how we can capture the failures?

Viewing the S.M.A.R.T. data of a device can give you insight of hardware statistics and status, for instance my SSD gives me two counters for the amount of GB read and written and remaining life of the drive. On my HP SmartArray 430 I get RAID status and Raid health. Just google for smart values and I'm sure you will understand.

The problem with SMART is that each manufacturer uses it's own set of value types and it's almost impossible of knowing each value id what it means, for instance SMART value id 55 can mean three different things if read on three different manufacturers.

Also if SMART get's tripped you know if the drive is faulty and requires replacement.
