What is HDD SMART error?

The Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) was created to monitor and detect signs of a failing hard drive automatically. In most cases, it would notify you of any problems that it has detected, but you can manually check the status on both Windows and Mac computers.
Is SMART HDD reliable?
It’s fairly reliable, but it doesn’t cover all of the types of failure modes a drive can have. Using some form of RAID will help protect you in a greater number of scenarios. I’d say that across my servers, only 20% of my disk failures are the result of S.M.A.R.T.

Factory resets aren’t perfect. They don’t delete everything on the computer. The data will still exist on the hard drive. Such is the nature of hard drives that this type of erasure doesn’t mean getting rid of the data written to them, it just means the data can no longer be accessed by your system.
Should I enable smart in BIOS?
Yes enable it. It would enable logging of the harddisks when errors occurs, and monitors many statistics of the harddrive, such as temperature over time and errors that occur.
