From the developer:
Smartmontools is a package that contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor the storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (SMART) built into most modern ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS and NVMe disks. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure.
