SMART Technology *
(Self-Monitoring, Analysis
and Reporting Technology)

Predicts failures before they occur. Tracks fault prediction and failure indication parameters such as
re-allocated sector count, spin retry count, calibration retry count
By avoiding actual hard drive failures, SMART hard drives act as "insurance" against unplanned
user downtime and potential data loss from hard drive failure
IOEDC: I/O Error Detection Circuitry
Detects errors in Read/Write buffers on HDD cache RAM
Interface in F10 setup provides confirmation of SMART support.
