Actualy it's "S.M.A.R.T" and it stands for :

Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology. Helps prevent data
loss and unscheduled computer downtime and provides advanced warning of
certain types of drive failures, allowing the user of data management
software to backup the data.
 
thanks.

What's it do, give you a pop up message or
something when you start getting a pre determined
number of bad reads and/or writes?

Or does you mobo make beeps like when you
have bad memory?
