Something like clearing SMART is a vendor specific command and is unique to each HDD manufacturer. So I doubt you'll find a simple software capable of doing it with the press of a button like you are thinking.

Also, no one on here wants to help you sell old failing drives passed off as "good" by spoofing the SMART parameters.

For Samsung you can use SHT. For WD you can use WDMarvel, for Seagate learn how to use TTL commands.

Then you either buy something like MRT Pro (cheaper then PC-3000) or you learn VSC.
