Description: Control and monitor utility for SMART disks
 smartctl controls the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology
 (SMART) system built into most ATA/SATA and SCSI/SAS hard drives and
 solid-state 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.  smartctl also supports some features not related to SMART.
 This version of smartctl is compatible with ACS-3, ACS-2, ATA8-ACS, ATA/ATAPI-7
 and earlier standards.
