winget install --id=smartmontools.smartmontools -e 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/SATA, SCSI/SAS and NVMe disks. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure. Smartmontools was originally derived from the Linux smartsuite package and actually supports ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS and NVMe disks and also SCSI/SAS tape devices. It should run on any modern Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin (macOS), Solaris, Windows, Cygwin, OS/2, eComStation or QNX system. Smartmontools can also be run from one of many different Live CDs/DVDs.
smartmontools is a monitoring toolset designed to control and analyze storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) system integrated into modern disks. The software provides essential utilities for maintaining disk health and predicting potential failures before they occur.
Key Features:
- Scheduled SMART Tests: smartmontools allows users to schedule regular self-tests on storage devices using smartd, ensuring proactive monitoring of disk health.
- Failure Prediction: By analyzing SMART data, the tool can detect early signs of disk degradation and provide alerts before failures occur.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: It supports a wide range of operating systems, including Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, Windows, and more, making it versatile for various environments.
- Command-Line Interface: The smartctl utility offers detailed insights into disk status and SMART attributes through an easy-to-use command-line interface.
