Monitor Disk Health

Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) is built into many ATA-3 and later ATA, IDE and SCSI-3 hard drives. The purpose of SMART is to monitor the reliability of the hard drive and predict drive failures, and to carry out different types of drive self-tests.

config setprop smartd status enabled

To manually check disks

smartctl -a /dev/hdc
