Description

Monitors S.M.A.R.T. health data from supported ATA, SATA, NVMe, and SCSI storage devices so users can notice disk problems earlier. Administrators use it to check attributes, run drive self-tests, and receive warnings about failing hardware.

Drive-health reports are indicators, not guarantees. Back up important data regardless of status, and be careful when running long tests on production storage.

How to run

smartctl

Commands: smartctl
