The primary tools to monitor S.M.A.R.T. capiable disk drives are the smartmontools, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/.


These are comprised of two main tools, smartctl and smartd.  smartctl is used to access and set S.M.A.R.T. info on the drives.  The smartd tools is a daemon that run to continuely monitor the status of your drive and report/email that.

These tools can be used to monitor both IDE (PATA and SATA drives) and scsi drives.  In addition they have drivers to work with some raid controllers;


  • 3ware RAID controllers are supported on Linux since smartmontools release 5.1-18. Support for char devices /dev/tw* was added in release 5.33.

  • 3ware support on FreeBSD is available since release 5.33, multiple controller and char device support was added in release 5.36.

  • 3ware 9000 support for Windows was added 2006-09-27, the corresponding 3ware driver 9.4.0 was released 2006-11-01.

  • HighPoint RocketRAID support for Linux was added 2006-08-25.

  • CCISS (Compaq Smart Array Controller) support for Linux was added 2006-10-09.

The recent additions are included in smartmontools release 5.37.


These tools run a several platforms... (most that I can think of) LInux, Windows, NetBSD, Solaris, and others.
