It also shows the threshold value for each attribute and if the value falls below the threshold, the drive is not going to be reliable anymore. There is also an option to run the built-in Disk Self Test routine. This helps you find the disk failures. The smart email notification feature is a great way to stay alert if in case any of the SMART values go below the threshold.
