S.M.A.R.T is Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology
hier wat over smart:
What is S.M.A.R.T.?
The S.M.A.R.T. system for disk drives, illustrated in Figure 1, is designed to revolutionize overall system and data reliability. The system is comprised of software that resides both on the disk drive and on the host computer. The disk drive software monitors the internal performance of the motors, media, heads, and electronics of the drive, while the host software monitors the overall reliability status of the drive. The reliability status is determined through the analysis of the drive's internal performance level and the comparison of internal performance levels to predetermined threshold limits.
In some configurations the host may play a more active role and direct the drive to perform diagnostic tests and report the results. The host may then make comparisons with previous results, or against values set for that particular drive model, and take appropriate action.
Upon determination of a critical reliability condition where a device failure has been predicted, the host software warns the user of the impending condition and advises the user to take appropriate action to protect the data being stored. In more advanced implementations, the host could notify a network administrator and automatically reduce the workload on the device, relocate key files, and even begin a backup of the data to tape or other disk drives.

maar wat je er aan hebt? niks eigenlijk, je systeem wordt er alleen maar langzamer door, alleen als je hele belangrijke dingen op je HD heb, voor bedrijven ofzo is het handig
