S.M.A.R.T.
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) monitors internal drives to detect and report
various indicators of reliability, in the hope of anticipating failures. If S.M.A.R.T. informs you of impending drive
failure, you may choose to replace the drive to avoid outages and possible data loss. Follow the procedure below to
