DESCRIPTION

14       GSmartControl  is  a graphical user interface for smartctl (from smart‐
15       montools), which is a tool for querying and  controlling  SMART  (Self-
16       Monitoring,  Analysis,  and  Reporting  Technology) data on modern hard
17       disk and solid-state drives. It allows you to inspect the drive's SMART
18       data to determine its health, as well as run various tests on it.
