SMART Utility for Mac

SMART Utility is a simple application that allows you to scan the internal hardware diagnostics of SMART (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) drives. It is built into all hard drives by manufacturers to read various measurements on how a hard drive is performing. With SMART Utility, you can detect unusual mechanical or electrical problems before they happen, preventing sudden hard drive failures.

The SMART test is quick, and although many of the parameters may not be understandable to the average user, the important thing is that SMART Utility indicates whether you have passed the test or not. If your hard drive is faulty, bad sectors will be highlighted in red, accompanied by a "Failed" message in yellow.

SMART Utility is a simple and effective way to save yourself the pain of hard drive failure.
