S.M.A.R.T. parameters of hard drives, including internal and external SSD drives, protection from irrecoverable loss, prevention of hardware failures using Hetman Software tools in LA.
Steps to take when encountering S.M.A.R.T. errors in your HDD or SSD, fixing the disk and recovering lost data. Does a S.M.A.R.T. error appear in an HDD or SSD when your computer/laptop loads? Has your computer performance got worse after this error and you worry about the safety of your data? Do you have difficulties with fixing an error?

A healthy hard disk is a relatively quiet device which can only remind you of its existence by emitting soft clicks when you address some information on it, or when you shut down or power on your PC. However, if your hard disk has developed some loud clicking, whistling or rustling noises (or there is some nasty vibration) that you’ve never heard before - this HDD is probably out of order.

This article talks about tools to use and parameters to check for to prevent accidental data loss due to hard drive failure. S.M.A.R.T. (or simply SMART) is a monitoring system built into most modern hard drives. S.M.A.R.T. stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology. The technology helps detect various reliability problems at an early stage, giving warning signs well in advance before the hard drive fails. By reading (and interpreting) the indicators, the user can prevent data loss by replacing the disk before the crash occurs. But what S.M.A.R.T. flags should we look at? There are dozens available!
