SMARTtietoja
SMARTtietoja, or SMART data, are the self-monitoring, analysis and reporting technology data produced by storage devices such as hard disk drives and solid-state drives. These data come from the device firmware and provide a view of the drive’s health and reliability over time, helping users detect developing problems and plan maintenance before a failure occurs.
SMART data consist of a set of attributes. Each attribute has an identifier, a name (for example
Access to SMART data is provided by firmware and can be read with software tools such as
Limitations should be noted: SMART data are not a guaranteed predictor of failure and different drives may
