Hard Disk Health Monitor

Your Mac’s hard disk stores operating system files and your files. The longer you use your Mac, the more its hard disk deteriorates. This may lead to slower computer performance, system failures, and data losses.

Kaspersky Security Cloud uses S.M.A.R.T. technology to detect and report possible imminent disk failures so you can act to prevent data loss and maintain data integrity.

Open the Hard Disk Health Monitor window

You can turn off automatic checking of hard disks on your Mac.

The left pane of the Hard Disk Health Monitor window displays a list of your Mac’s hard disks. The right pane of the window displays the basic parameters of the selected hard disk supporting S.M.A.R.T. technology. You can view a detailed report on all available parameters.

If Kaspersky Security Cloud notifies you that your hard disk is in critical condition due to deterioration, you may want to create a backup to reduce the risk of losing your data.
