Top 15 GSmartControl Alternative and Similar Softwares | Dec 2024

Hard disk drive health inspection tool

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.

GSmartControl can let you know in advance of failing that the drive has errors. Since a hard drive which has errors can be slower as well as fail at any time, it can help you justify spending time to back up your data or upgrade your hard drive.
