SMART (Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) technology, which equips hard drives, allows for the continuous collection of information on the health of your equipment: read error rate, head access error rate, temperature, number of reallocated sectors, defective sectors, etc.
What for? An unusual value can warn you of an impending hardware failure on your hard drive. It is therefore wise to regularly check the SMART data status of your hard drives. This will allow you to safeguard the data on a hard drive that is experiencing difficulties and could fail at any moment.
Practical CrystalDiskInfo will allow you to access SMART data in a clear way. In addition to technical information about your hard drive, the software tells you, based on the collected data, whether the state of your hard drive is correct, or if any problems have been detected.
