Smart Check
SMART is Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology, a function of the
disk drives that gathers performance information used to predict a pending drive
failure. With this option enabled, the Controller will check the status of the disk
drives and report any problems
.
Under most conditions, there will be no apparent
difference in array performance with Smart Check
enabled.
