C# has no knowledge about your EBIOS and HARD DISK internal affairs. More info about SMART failure prediction system is on the SMART Technology site. Doing it yourselt, you must write kernel model driver for ring 0 to get read/write access to hard disk command registers. Then you may probably call your driver for prediction data from C# ?

thats correct, you can't access low level data from C#. You would have to go low level or use some API to do this
