SMART-Attribute summary

S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a technology of data storage media for recording monitoring values ​​to detect errors and evaluate the condition of the medium. SMART works differently depending on the data transfer protocol used. There are differences with ATA, NVMe and eMMC. In this article you will get an overview of the various well-known SMART attributes and their meaning as far as they are known. Some attributes have different meanings for different manufacturers and some attributes are only available for certain manufacturers. Unfortunately, not all manufacturers fully adhere to SMART standards and therefore a direct description of some specific attributes is difficult. However, the most important attributes should be correctly recognized by all manufacturers.

In the article SMART analysis and self-test for ATA hard drives you can get more information about use in toolstar®testLX and toolstar®testWIN. SMART works slightly differently for NVMe disks. There are no attributes with IDs here, but rather fixed values. Further information about SMART can be found here.

Note on the list of attributes and descriptions

SMART defines various attributes and calculations of the values ​​of the attributes. However, some manufacturers calculate the values ​​differently and do not use certain IDs according to the standard. In addition, the types and calculations can differ even within a manufacturer depending on the model and firmware. The information was created through research on the Internet, by compiling manufacturer information and combining this information by hand. You can also find some of the information used here under References and further information for detailed reading from the respective manufacturers.
