Running the S.M.A.R.T. Monitor

The S.M.A.R.T. monitor can either be refreshed manually or run to keep the information current. To run the S.M.A.R.T. monitor simply click the Start button in the action toolbar. To pause or stop auto-refreshing sequence click Pause or Stop buttons in View's toolbar accordingly.

Note:

S.M.A.R.T. monitoring is a process that requires a lot of resources. It can slow down erase/clone process significantly. We advise you to avoid querying S.M.A.R.T. information very often.
