- Finding Your Mac’s Model. Before doing anything you need to be sure exactly what model Mac you have. Just calling it a MacBook Pro isn’t enough; for example, I’ve got MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015). To find out what you have, click the Apple logo in the top left corner of the menu bar and select the “About This Mac” option.
- SSD drives can improve the performance of Mac Machine and offer a lightning speed loading time. The high-performance players in SSDs are the operating speed and resistance to impact and shock. Even though SSDs are bit expensive, the investment on SSD can pay back you in terms of speed.

Click the link above to open the script in Script Editor, save, and enter the following line into your crontab:
osascript [path/to/file]
where path/to/file is, obviously, the POSIX path to the Applescript.
One mistake--make sure you place the POSIX path to the script in quotation marks: osascript '/path/to/file'. Sorry about that

[Corrected the script to ask Finder to display the dialog if there is an error--osascript can't display dialogs directly. Rob, if you want, delete the previous two comments and move this up. Sorry about that.]
Smart Ssd For Macbook
I just made a geektool entry of 'diskutil info disk0 | grep Verified > /dev/null'
Then I set the default icons and turned on icon display. If disk status is 'Verified' then I get a green icon, if it's not I get red.
I edited the script as I wanted to have a DAILY HARD DRIVE VERIFIED STATUS message window displayed, not just when the 'Drive Failed'.

I also used CRONNIX to add the scheduled time for this script to run daily under my user name CRONTAB. This is a very simply program for a newbie or advanced user - nice GUI.

Ssd For Mac Mini
Question: Is the SMART status verified a) when the diskutil utility is run, b) only at boot-up, or c) once every xx hrs?
Does anybody know the answer?
For some reason I have it in my head that the SMART status is checked maybe only at boot-up, status is stored somewhere, and then diskutil simply retrieves the status from that 'somewhere'.
Am I wrong?

This command makes a horrible drive parking noise on an intel MBP running 10.5.6. Anyone else experience this or know another method, or the cause of this noise?
