Active SMART SCSI

Active SMART SCSI version supports S.M.A.R.T. technology on both IDE (ATA) and SCSI devices. However SCSI drives use another method of reporting their S.M.A.R.T. status, in concordance with S.M.A.R.T. implementation for IDE devices. They do not report detailed information about supported attributes and do not support reporting of detailed statistics about S.M.A.R.T. attributes. However SCSI drives report overall health status of the disk and a set of vital disk parameters - such as Defect list, hard drive temperature and other.Active SMART monitors disk health status and uses other health-status disk features of SCSI drives to provide early notification about possible drive failure. Also Active SMART for SCSI supports the SCSI hard drive thermal sensors and can be used to trace the hard drive temperature to Prevent its overheating
