HDD S.M.A.R.T Capability (Disabled)

The S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) system

S.M.A.R.T. software resides on both the disk drive and the host computer.

The disk drive software monitors the internal performance of the motors, me-

dia, heads, and electronics of the drive. The host software monitors the overall

reliability status of the drive. If a device failure is predicted, the host software,

through the Client WORKS S.M.A.R.T applet, warns the user of the impending

condition and advises appropriate action to protect the data.
