S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a technology used to predict when a hard drive is likely to fail. It monitors various parameters of the drive, such as temperature, number of read/write errors, spin-up time, etc., and alerts the user if any of these parameters indicate a potential problem. Neither S.S.D., N.A.N.D., nor E.E.P.R.O.M. are directly related to predicting hard drive failure.
