3.11 HDD S.M.A.R.T Capability
S.M.A.R.T (Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a technology
that enables a PC to in some cases predict the future failure of storage devices
(like hard disk drives). The default value is Disabled.For making use of the S.M.
A.R.T. feature you would require a software (or BIOS) that enables and moni-
tors the S.M.A.R.T status of your hard drive, and an operating system that
supports the S.M.A.R.T feature i.e. Windows 95 or higher. Some BIOS contain
this software, otherwise EZ-SMART from StorageSoft is an example of a utility
that can enable and monitor the SMART status of your drive too (only available
for Windows 98 and Windows NT).
