What do you mean by faked? It reads hardware information from the drives directly. If it gets tricked into reading data for a virtual drive or something I'm not sure what it would display, but it would be fairly obvious it wasn't reading a real disk.

 

It's very effective at reading SMART information. I've been using it to occasionally monitor my SSD health.

 

Obviously, if someone sends you a screenshot of the program, it's very easy to edit that kinda stuff. But if you're reading the info on your own drives, it'll be accurate.
