OS X SAT SMART Driver ##### This is a kernel driver for Mac OS X external USB or FireWire drives. It extends the standard driver behaviour by providing access to drive SMART data. The interface to SMART data is same as with ATA family driver, so most existing applications should work. 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. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure. It should run on any modern Darwin (Mac OS X), Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, OS/2, Cygwin, QNX, eComStation or Windows system. Smartmontools can also be run from one of many different Live CDs/DVDs. Dear smartmontools developers! Until the very recent version of smartmontools (5.39), SMART through USB was not possible on Mac OS X, because the Mac OS X kernel does not support SCSI pass through (reasoning of Christian Franke). Status verification is now being done in the expert mode. I still want to implement this using smartmontools, but for now diskutil will do. Mac OS X 10.4 Intel/PPC, Mac OS X 10.5.

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]
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]
