5.2.3.3 S.M.A.R.T.

Through the S.M.A.R.T. system, modern hard disk drives incorporate a suite of advanced diagnostics that monitor the internal operations of a drive and provide an early warning for many types of potential problems. When a potential problem is detected, the drive can be repaired or replaced before any data is lost or damaged.

Here you can find a tree with hard drives for which you can view S.M.A.R.T. information.

It is possible to view information about separate hard drives or a summary for all drives in the system.

•To view S.M.A.R.T. information for a hard drive - please click on appropriate drive name.

Function: S.M.A.R.T. unit’s health status

This function allows you to check S.M.A.R.T. status of hard disks. S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) is a monitoring system for computer hard disks to detect and report on various indicators of reliability, in the hope of anticipating failures.

To enable S.M.A.R.T. checks you need to use console tools and enable it in "special options"

It will be possible to enable S.M.A.R.T. when all hard disks support it and it is enabled in BIOS settings.

When S.M.A.R.T. is enabled you will see all detected hard drives with information if specified drive has passed health checks. To view more information and/or do more advanced test click on drive in drives tree on left side.
