GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl (from smartmontools package), which is a software for querying and controlling SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) data on modern hard disk drives. It allows you to inspect the drive's SMART data to determine its health, as well as run various tests on it. SMART is a technology which provides hard disk drives with methods to predict certain kinds of failures with certain chance of success.

Note: Only ATA drives (both PATA and SATA) and various USB to ATA bridges are supported for now. See smartmontools USB support overview for an (incomplete) list of supported USB to ATA bridges.
