GSmartControl 0.8.7
GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl (from smartmontools package), which is a tool for
querying and controlling SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting
Technology) data on modern hard disk drives. It allows you to inspect the
drive`s SMART data to determine its health, as well as run various tests on
it.
Note: GSmartControl supports ATA drives (both PATA and SATA), various USB to
ATA bridges and drives behind 3ware RAID controllers. See smartmontools USB support overview for an (incomplete) list of supported USB to ATA bridges.
