SMART Logs

The ATA standard provides Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) feature set to warn you about the impending drive failure that lets you take preventive action. For more information, refer to the ATA specifications. SMART logs enhance the SMART attribute information by capturing the additional drive details at appropriate times. This information might improve error detection and reporting capability. The Nytro Flash module supports SMART logs. Relevant tests, events, and conditions have an associated log.
