Pentru a instala smartctl pe Linux putem folosi comanda:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install smartmontools – Debian

sudo dnf install smartmontools – RHEL, CentOS, Fedora

Pentru a verifica statusul SMART si pentru a confirma ca acesta este activ putem folosi comanda:

sudo smartctl -i /dev/sdb – sdx este numele drive-ului
