When I use smartctl -s off /dev/sda with admin privilege, the SMART support is said to be disable:

    C:\Program Files\smartmontools\bin>smartctl -s off /dev/sda
    smartctl 6.5 2016-05-07 r4318 [i686-w64-mingw32-win8.1] (sf-6.5-1)

    === START OF ENABLE/DISABLE COMMANDS SECTION ===
    SMART Disabled. Use option -s with argument 'on' to enable it.

It is confirmed by using smartctl -a /dev/sda/:

    C:\Program Files\smartmontools\bin>smartctl -a /dev/sda
    smartctl 6.5 2016-05-07 r4318 [i686-w64-mingw32-win8.1] (sf-6.5-1)

    SMART Disabled. Use option -s with argument 'on' to enable it.

But when I restart my computer, the SMART check comes back again. Why is that?

My BIOS version is ​1.31, and there is no SMART option in it (only D2D recovery).

^{I have asked this question on ​Super User as well.}

Hi,

this Seagate Barracuda 2,5" HDD isn't in the database.
