S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) reports on a variety of
hard drive attributes. It helps ensure that the HDD is functioning properly at all times
while protecting video stored on the hard drive.

1. From the menu toolbar, click Storage Management > S.M.A.R.T. Settings.
2. Select the HDD whose data you want to see. A detail listing of S.M.A.R.T.
information is displayed.
3. If you want to continue to use a HDD when the S.M.A.R.T. test has failed, check the
box Use when the disk has failed to self-evaluate. Click Apply to save the
settings.
4. Click Exit to return to live view.
