Is there any way to get information out of another namespace?
eg. \root\wmi

It would be really nice to have a report of hard drives that are reporting failures via SMART status.
This information is availible via WMI, but it's not in \root\cimv2

This website gives a lot of detail:

I'm not sure if this is still necessary.
You can query the eventlogs for the "disk" source to see if a disk is about to fail.

Lansweeper, any update on this request? I think this would be extremely valuable and the link he provided has excellent information on accomplishing this via WMI.
