What technology is used by HDDs and SSDs to detect failures?

  1. FLASH

  2. SMART

  3. USB

  4. FIREWIRE

The correct answer is: SMART

HDDs and SSDs use the SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) to detect failures. This technology continuously monitors the drive's health and indicates any potential failures before they occur. Unlike FLASH, USB, and FIREWIRE, which are types of storage devices, SMART is a specific feature that allows for early detection of problems with the drive's performance and health.
