S.M.A.R.T. Screen

Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) is an industry standard. S.M.A.R.T. performs disk monitoring and testing. It checks drive reliability and predicts hardware failures.

S.M.A.R.T. tests run on disks. Running tests can reduce drive performance. We recommend scheduling tests when the system is in a low-usage state. Avoid scheduling disk-intensive tests at the same time! For example, do not schedule S.M.A.R.T. tests on the same day as a disk scrub or resilver.
