The Spy Service program looks for errors, failed drives, and status changes. It can mark drives as failed after the error threshold is reached and start automatic rebuilds. It runs in the background of the Embedded SATA Console.

When operating under Windows, Spy enables the self-monitoring analysis and reporting technology (S.M.A.R.T.) on all of the hard drives at startup and polls for any status changes in the drives every 60 minutes. S.M.A.R.T. monitors hard drives for drive failures.
