See, that's the problem though. A SMART tool that needs to be
periodically run manually is next to pointless. I expect a SMART
monitor to *always* be running and *actively* notify me when something
starts going downhill.
Naturally, that's not a substitute for actually looking at the stats
now and then, but the "always-on, active notification" is a MUST.
