Operating hours / Burn counts of optical drive

Post by blackice »

Hi
Does anyone know if there is a program that can read out the operating hours and/or burn counts of a bluray drive?
I think I read it somewhere here, but I can't find the topic anymore.
Thanks for any hint.

I've no expierience in this case, but supposedly CrystalDiskInfo is able to get different datas from optical drives too.

Google says:
"Although mainly intended for hard drives, CrystalDiskInfo can also display information about optical drives, such as the number of read operations and other SMART values."

Just try it.

Don't think so. I'm not aware of such a utility.
