About smartmontools
The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technology system built into most modern ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS and NVMe disks. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure. Smartmontools was originally derived from the Linux smartsuite package and actually supports ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS, and NVMe disks and SCSI/SAS tape devices. It should run on any modern Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin (macOS), Solaris, Windows, Cygwin, OS/2, eComStation or QNX system. Smartmontools can also be run from one of many different live CDs/DVDs.

PerfectDisk vSphere
PerfectDisk® 14 vSphere improves VMware I/O performance by reducing unnecessary SCSI commands issued by guest machines. Reducing SCSI commands improves I/O throughput and reduces I/O latency bottlenecks. PerfectDisk vSphere is a complete solution that optimizes your physical host, guest machines, and your storage solution to eliminate I/O throughput and I/O latency bottlenecks. This includes the optimization of both fat and thin provisioned virtual storage on both local and external RAID / SAN solutions. Virtual infrastructure awareness technology monitors resource availability at the physical host level and enables high resource availability and intelligent real time I/O prioritization during file system optimization. This technology allows optimizations to occur dynamically between virtual guests so as to completely eliminate the resource contention caused by simultaneous optimizations. PerfectDisk vSphere also includes full support for vMotion.
