S.M.A.R.T. stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology.

It is a monitoring system built into hard drives to detect failures and hard drive health. The practical use of S.M.A.R.T. is to predict possible hard drive failure before it happens. This allows the user to save data off the hard drive before it completely fails.
