How often should you check your hard drive health?
Everyone generates a huge amount of data daily, and it needs to be stored securely in our devices' storage. But whether that's an external drive used on a Mac, a hard drive inside a NAS, or an SSD inside a Windows PC, our storage drives won't last forever, even if we want our data to. There are many utilities for checking the built-in S.M.A.R.T. monitoring data that every hard drive and SSD produces, but how often should you check that data to avoid failing drives? Let's answer that, and show you which tools to use to check your hard drive's health.
