Our Mission
At GSmartControl, our goal is simple: to help users protect their data and extend the life of their storage devices. By providing a reliable, open-source tool for monitoring and testing drives, we make it easier for everyone—from everyday computer users to IT professionals—to stay ahead of potential hardware failures.
What We Do
GSmartControl is built around S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology). The software gives users a straightforward way to:
- View detailed health information about their hard drives and SSDs
- Run diagnostic tests to identify potential issues early
- Generate and save logs for analysis and record-keeping
- Manage S.M.A.R.T. settings with a user-friendly interface
Who We Serve
Our users range from individuals who want peace of mind for their personal data, to businesses monitoring multiple systems, to data recovery professionals who rely on accurate drive health reports before performing critical work.
Why Open Source
We believe transparency matters. As open-source software, GSmartControl allows the community to contribute, audit, and improve the tool continually. This ensures long-term reliability, cross-platform support, and freedom from vendor lock-in.
Our Commitment
We are committed to keeping GSmartControl free, accessible, and regularly updated to support evolving storage technologies. Whether you use a single laptop or manage enterprise servers, GSmartControl provides the insights you need to safeguard your data.
