Windows Doesn’t provide easy to use built in tool , through which you can check your
S.M.A.R.T Data. You will have to use a third party tool to view this Information.
But There is also a trick through Command prompt.
CHECK S.M.A.R.T. SOFTWARE.
CrystalDiskInfo Is an Easy to use program that can display your S.M.A.R.T. Status that is reported by Your Hard Drive in Windows.
