S.M.A.R.T Test

S.M.A.R.T stands for “Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology”. This is a system on a hard drive used to monitor and report on the health

of the drive. If the HD is grayed out, then it does not support S.M.A.R.T.

S.M.A.R.T Test: To run the S.M.A.R.T test, select the hard drive you wish

to perform the S.M.A.R.T test on. Then select whether

to run a Quick or Extended S.M.A.R.T test. Then click

Start to run the test. Click the Create Schedule button

to run the test at a pre-determined time and date.

Quick Test: Runs a quick S.M.A.R.T test. The test usually takes less

than 10 minutes. This test will check the electrical,

mechanical, and read performance of the hard drive.

The results are displayed as Passed/Failed on the web

UI and can also be sent as an e-mail alert.

Extended Test: Runs an extended S.M.A.R.T test. This test requires a lot

more time to complete. However, it is a more thorough

and complete test when compared to the Quick Test.
