View S.M.A.R.T. Disk Information
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) monitors drive
performance and calibration characteristics, and predicts imminent drive failure. Drive
attributes and their associated values are listed in the SMART Disk Information screen.
Note: S.M.A.R.T. disk information is available only when the S.M.A.R.T. feature is
supported and accessible by DLGDIAG. Under the SMART Status column, a question mark
icon displays if the S.M.A.R.T. feature is not available. A red X icon displays for a specific
attribute if and only if it's value falls below the threshold value and the warranty value is 1.
Some IDE and SATA controllers do not allow S.M.A.R.T. information to be read from the
hard drive. For more information, please contact the manufacturer of the controller to
determine if the controller supports S.M.A.R.T. attribute reading.
1. Highlight the drive and click the S.M.A.R.T. disk info icon on the top row to view
S.M.A.R.T. disk information.
2. The S.M.A.R.T. disk information for the selected drive displays.
