GSmartControl supports a wide range of hard disk and solid-state drives:

• ATA (both SATA and PATA) drives
• NVMe drives
• ATA and NVMe drives behind some USB bridges. See USB Devices and Smartmontools for more information.
• ATA drives behind some RAID controllers:
  • Adaptec (Linux, selected models only)
  • Areca (Linux, Windows)
  • HP CCISS (Linux)
  • HP hpsa / hpahcisr (Linux)
  • Intel Matrix Storage (CSMI) (Linux, Windows, FreeBSD)

Note: Smartmontools supports even more RAID Controllers. The drives behind such controllers can be manually entered in GSmartControl using Add Device… functionality or --add-device command-line option.

SCSI / SAS drives are not supported by GSmartControl, but the application may still display some information about them.
