S.M.A.R.T.
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a diagnostic tool for hard drives
to deliver warning of drive failures in advance. It provides users a chance to take actions before a
possible drive failure.
S.M.A.R.T. measures many attributes of the hard drive all the time and inspects the properties of
hard drives which are close to be out of tolerance. The advanced notice of possible hard drive
failure can allow users to back up hard drive or replace the hard drive. This is much better than
hard drive crash when it is writing data or rebuilding a failed hard drive.
This tool displays S.M.A.R.T. information of hard drives. The number is the current value; the
number in parenthesis is the threshold value. The threshold values from different hard drive
vendors are different; please refer to hard drive vendors’ specification for details.
S.M.A.R.T. only supports SATA drives. SAS drives do not have this function and will show N/A in the
web page.
