I would monitoring the smart HDD-s on my Windows 7 clients.
I would to get the HDD smart attributes without using any vbs file or ready-made tool just looking towards WMI or PowerShell.
I would aggregate that data with ZABBIX monitoring server (use zabbix-sender.exe).
I found a more or less solution for Linux, but I would monitor windows 7 machines HDD.
Has anyone an idea?

Interpreting SMART attributes in general Name: The name of the SMART attribute. Value: The current, normalized value of the attribute. Higher values are always better (except for temperature for hard disks of some manufacturers). The range is normally 0-100, for some attributes 0-255 (so that 100 resp.
Most modern drives have a feature called S.M.A.R.T. (Opens in a new window) (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), which monitors different drive attributes in an attempt to detect a failing disk.
Click on "Reports" at the bottom of the list in the left column, then double-click on "System" then on the resulting item, which should be your report. Scroll down to the "Basic System Check" section and click on the + in front of "Disk Checks" to see the SMART predict failure check results.
SMART stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology and is a monitoring system included in hard drives that reports on various attributes of the state of a given drive.
Use the WMI API to access SMART data like so,
gwmi -namespace root\wmi -class MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus
There are more examples in the net.
