Through the S.M.A.R.T. system, modern hard disk drives incorporate a suite of
advanced diagnostics that monitor the internal operations of a drive and provide
an early warning for many types of potential problems. When a potential problem
is detected, the drive can be repaired or replaced before any data is lost or
damaged.
Here you can find a tree with hard drives for which you can view S.M.A.R.T.
information.
It is possible to view information about separate hard drives or a summary for all
drives in the system.
