Disk Management - S.M.A.R.T Test
S.M.A.R.T stands for “Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology”. This is a system on the hard drive used to
monitor and report on the health of the drive. If the HD is grayed out, then it does not support S.M.A.R.T.
S.M.A.R.T
Test
To run the S.M.A.R.T test, select the hard drive you
wish to perform the S.M.A.R.T test on. Then select
whether to run a Quick or Extended S.M.A.R.T
test. Then press “Start” to run the test. Press the
Create Schedule button to run the test at a pre-
determined time and date.
Quick Test Runs a quick S.M.A.R.T test. The test usually takes
less than 10 minutes. This test will check the
electrical, mechanical, and read performance
of the hard drive. The results are displayed as
Passed/Failed on the web UI and can also be sent
as an e-mail alert.
Extended
Test
Runs an extended S.M.A.R.T test. This test requires
a lot more time to complete. However, it is a more
thorough and complete test when compared to
the Quick Test.
