SMART - what it is explanation
S.M.A.R.T. Foundation
S.M.A.R.T. is the abbreviation for "Self Monitoring And Reporting Technology". It's an industry standard for monitoring and reporting fault conditions in a peripheral storage device. There are two kinds of hard disk drive failures: unpredictable and predictable, there are 60% of drive failures are mechanical, often resulting from the gradual degradation of the drive's performance. These have been well explored over the years and have led to disk drive designers being able to not only develop more reliable products, but to also apply their knowledge to the prediction of device failures. By researching and monitoring of vital functions, performance thresholds which correlate to imminent failure have be determined, and it is these types of failure that S.M.A.R.T. attempts to predict.
