Recommended Posts

Hi

When i boot up PC and its shows the hard disk installed etc as primart,secondary,slave,...

it says the hard disk name and spec .. and then says S.M.A.R.T. but not enabled.

What does S.M.A.R.T. mean??

Thanks

ok... didn't take to long to find this from my personal buttler.. jeeves as in Ask Jeeves @ www.ask.com:

Active SMART is an award winning hard disk status analyzer and failure prediction software for your hard drive. It uses S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) to monitor the health status of Hard Disk Drives (HDD), prevents data loss and predicts possible drive fail using special algorithms....
