HDD hours
With my Thecus NAS their web app allows you to see how many hours a particular HDD has been "spinning".
So that helps with determining when to replace HDDs, taking into account MTBF, for example. It's in the SMART info...
Is there any way to see that in the ReadyNAS web app?
Actually it is in the web app!
In the Performance tab, hover your mouse over the colored circle to the right of the disk, as you can see below:

As far as S.M.A.R.T. goes, the closest parameter I know of is "Power on Hours" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. ). "Power On Hours" is how many hours the drive has been the power-on state (whether spinning or not).
It is available with the ReadyNAS. The easiest way to see it with OS 6 is to download the log zip file. It's in disk_info.log, volume.log, and smart_history.log. It would be nice if there was an easy way to see the full set of S.M.A.R.T. stats from the web ui - OS 4 had that, but OS-6 doesn't.

So it is :smileyhappy:
But it's not shown in the other two places where you can see SMART status (hovering over the disk on the volume tab, or clicking on the volume settings wheel and selecting "disks"). All of these should show the same information :smileyfrustrated:
