Is Anybody Familiar With S.m.a.r.t(self-monitoring analysis & reporting technology) In Your Bios ???? I Was Just Curious If I Should Enable It To Monitor My Hard Drive 8-)

Tell me if this helps!

THANKS TYLER I GUESS IT'S JUST A SAFETY PRECAUTION TO LET YOU KNOW ....LIKE AN EARLY WARNING SYSTEM OF HARD DISK FAILURE OR A DECLINE IN PERFORMANCE SO IT DOESN'T HURT TO ENABLE IT

I was under the impression that enabling SMART reduces drive performance? Is this correct or was I misled? Or is the performance hit so small these days that it doesn't really matter?

It really doesn't make a huge impact. I have mine turned on .
