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. I was able to a version of CrystalDiskInfo running on my MacBook pro. I had used wine bottler to install the program into a program. However, I can't get the program to read the drives on my MacBook, If anyone knows a way to get to read, much appreciated! Storage media of all kinds, SSDs included, is consumable. That mean, eventually, it fails. That’s one reason backups are so important. To keep ahead of the game, macOS offers tools that can check the disk health of your SSD and other attached disks.

Smartmontools (S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring Tools) is a set of utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor computerstorage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) system built into most modern (P)ATA, Serial ATA, SCSI/SAS and NVMehard drives.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Smartmontools displays early warning signs of hard drive problems detected by S.M.A.R.T., often giving notice of impending failure while it is still possible to back data up.^[4]

From late 2010 ATA Error Recovery Control configuration has been supported by Smartmontools, allowing it to configure many desktop-and laptop-class hard drives for use in a RAID array and vice versa.^[5]

Most Linux distributions provide the smartmontools package.^[6]

Testing Conditions: We tested the game using Medium quality and 1280×800 resolution:Notice frames are capped at 30 FPS. That explains why the both MacBooks didn’t do better.Can your Mac run it? After all, few free-to-play games are as generous as ’s collectible card game.Based on the popular Warcraft universe, Hearthstone nails the essence of card games. There are different card types (weapons, spells and minions) and creating the “perfect” deck will be nearly impossible, yet the goal is simple: empty your opponent’s health before he empties yours.And before you complain that you’re not into card games, remember, this is an excellent game that you can play for free.One more thing Collectible card games are rarely demanding and Hearthstone is no exception. Is there aion for mac. Because of its simple graphics, virtually all Intel-powered models should be able to play it.Hearthstone benchmark results (in FPS). It’s much simpler than anything that came before while remaining hard to master.

User interface[edit]

Native[edit]

smartctl and smartd have a command-line interface.

Third-party GUI[edit]

GSmartControl is an open-sourcemulti-platformgraphical user interface (GUI) for smartctl developed by Alexander Shaduri.^[7]
SMART Utility is a program for Mac OS X with a GUI based on smartmontools.^[8]
HDD Guardian was an open-source Windows-only GUI for smartctl,^[9] discontinued on 28 April 2017. The author said that the program could still be downloaded from various sites, but that the entire HDD Guardian project (source code, builds and documentation) had been retired.^[10]
