S.M.A.R.T. Test
S.M.A.R.T. stands for “Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology”. This is a system on a hard drive used to monitor and report on the health of the drive. If the
HD is grayed out, then it does not support S.M.A.R.T.

of the hard drive. The results are displayed as Passed/Failed
on the web UI and can also be sent as an e-mail alert.
