S.M.A.R.T. - Self-Monitoring, Analysis, Reporting Technology

This Technology is a monitoring tool for computer hard disks to see troubles in the hardware before they start.

In short words: the hard disk itself checks a lot of parameters and when there are enough parameters not working as they should, the hard disk reports an error. So the hard disk says, when it will die. Links:
