Title: Utility for checking health of SSDs ?
Post by: BigFreddy on February 02, 2026, 06:28:53 PM
Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a plugin\built in utility that would continuously check SSDs\Hard Drives used in the firewall for S.M.A.R.T status or bad sectors, so once a malfunction is detected it would notify you in the web panel about it ? I'm asking because it would be hard to just power off the firewall just to check with a 3rd party tools to see if the drive\ssd is faulty or healthy.

Thanks

1. Schedule regular ZFS pool scrubs.

2. Follow this procedure of mine to get SMART data into a tool named Scrutiny:
