S.M.A.R.T. stands for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. S.M.A.R.T. technology was developed by a number of major hard disk drive manufacturers to increase the reliability of hard drives. It is a technology that enables the PC to predict the future failure of hard disk drives. S.M.A.R.T. technology has become an industry standard for hard drive manufacturers.

What is SMART hard disk?

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.


What will replace hard disk drives?

Solid State Drives are currently replacing hard drives in most desktop and laptop computers, and have already replaced them completely in tablets, smartphones, and portable media players. Solid state drives use much of the same technology found in USB flash drives and SD cards.
