SMART Utility
SMART Utility is a disk health monitoring tool for macOS that reads the S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) data from internal hard drives and solid-state drives, as well as external USB and Thunderbolt storage devices. It displays real-time information about drive health, detects potential problems like bad sectors or overheating, and can issue alerts before catastrophic failure occurs. The app supports scheduled automated scans and email notifications, making it useful for users who want to proactively monitor storage device integrity and prevent data loss.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe available search results describe SMART Utility version 3.2.7 as an "Apple-Intel Architecture" application (Intel-only), with no mention of a native Apple Silicon build or Universal Binary. The most recent result we found is dated October 2023, and there is no evidence that Volitans Software has released a native Apple Silicon version since then. SMART Utility is niche software with limited online documentation — you should contact the vendor directly at their website to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned before macOS 28 removes Rosetta 2 in September 2028. If no native version is forthcoming, consider moving to DriveDx, SMARTReporter, or another actively maintained alternative that offers confirmed Apple Silicon support; these apps provide comparable S.M.A.R.T. monitoring on modern Macs.
