SMART Check
Predictive Failure Reporting
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) was developed to examine hard drives looking for
early indications of pending drive failure. SMART is a feature that exists on the hard drive itself and not controlled by
the RAID controller. All SMART messages that are passed to the driver are passed to the operating system. See your
hard drive documentation to determine if your hard drive is SMART capable.
