Also, within a few clicks of the linux-ide.org URL, I found: http://www.linux-ide.org/smart/smartmontools-5.0/ which says: == REFERENCES == If you need help in understanding the output of smartctl, a good place to start is to read Section 8.41 of the AT Attachment with Packet Interface-5 (ATA/ATAPI-5) specification. This documents the S.M.A.R.T. functionality which the smartmontools utilities provide access to. You can find Revision 1 of this document at: http://www.t13.org/project/d1321r1c.pdf Future versions of the specifications (ATA/ATAPI-6 and ATA/ATAPI-7) can be obtained from: http://www.t13.org/#FTP_site Later revisions (2, 3) of the ATA/ATAPI-5 specification are also available there. The functioning of S.M.A.R.T. is also described by the SFF-8035i revision 2 specification. This is a publication of the Small Form Factors Committee, and can be obtained from SFF Committee, 14426 Black Walnut Ct., Saratoga, CA 95070, USA.
