Using DiskWarrior’s Hardware Monitoring

Click the hardware icon in the DiskWarrior application to manually activate DiskWarrior’s hard-

ware monitoring, to set the frequency of the tests, and to set how DiskWarrior notiﬁes you if it

detects a problem.

Note: DiskWarrior’s hardware monitoring will only work on ATA drives with built-in

S.M.A.R.T. capabilities. Apple uses ATA drives as internal hard drives on Macintosh

computers.
