 # RAIDAlert
 
+.NET Windows Service monitoring HP SmartArray Disk Health
+
+## About
+
+This .NET worker service for Windows periodically queries the HP SmartArray Controller for the physical disk status and sends screeching alert noises to the PC speaker/beeper if any doesn't report as "OK".  
+
 ## Prerequisites
 
 - A compatible HP SmartArray Controller like the P410 in my case
