How to disable S.M.A.R.T. ?

S.M.A.R.T. monitoring can only be disabled from the system BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). S.M.A.R.T. remains enabled on the drive. If S.M.A.R.T. is disabled from the system BIOS it will not poll the hard drive for S.M.A.R.T. attributes during system startup. To disable S.M.A.R.T. you have to enter BIOS => Bios Features Setup => HDD S.M.A.R.T. capability - set to Disabled. If you cannot find the S.M.A.R.T. option in the system BIOS please consult your system manufacturer or manual.
