# smartmontools
|
|
|
|
The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (SMART) built into most modern ATA and SCSI harddisks.
|
|
In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure.
|
|
|
|
Smartmontools supports ATA/ATAPI/SATA-3 to -8 disks and SCSI disks and tape devices.
