performing well. Run the following tests if you are concerned that your drive is not
operating properly:
•
SMART Status
SMART is a failure-prediction function that continuously monitors key internal
performance attributes of the drive. A detected increase in drive temperature,
noise, or read/write errors, for example, can provide an indication that the drive is
approaching a serious failure condition. With advanced warning, you could take
precautionary measures, like moving your data to another drive, before a failure
occurs.
The result of a SMART status check is a pass or fail evaluation of the drive's
condition.
