- added option to provide disk status information via WMI
- (Configuration -> Advanced options -> Provide status information by WMI)
- (disk information, status, health, temperature, text description, power on hours, bad sector count, weak sector count, comm.issue count, spin retry count, trim status, and complete S.M.A.R.T.) (registered Pro version only)
