Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART)

Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) monitors the

internal performance of all physical disk components to detect faults

indicating the potential for physical disk failure. SMART uses this

information to report whether failure is imminent so that a physical disk can

be replaced before failure occurs. The RAID controller monitors all attached

drives and notifies users when a predicted failure is reported by a physical

disk.
