SMART

The Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) IDE and SCSI hard drives
for HP workstations have built-in drive failure prediction that warns the user or the network
administrator of an impending failure or crash of the hard drive. SMART drives track fault
prediction and failure indication parameters such as re-allocated sector count, spin retry count,
and calibration retry count. If the drive determines that a failure is imminent, it generates a fault
alert.
