SMART also stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology. I say
also, because some sites list it as one, other sites as the other.
A rather thorough description of what SMART does can be found at

A shorter list covering aspects of SMART, as well as a few links to software that displays SMART data can be found at

Also, I think it would be prudent to say that, even though SMART is inaccurate, it's worth your time checking out what's going on with your drive.
