Research Mac OS API/Tools for SMART:
diskutil: macOS has the diskutil command-line utility, but its SMART reporting capabilities might be limited.
smartctl (from smartmontools): This is widely available on macOS (e.g., via Homebrew). This is likely your primary method.
- IOKit Framework (Lower Level): For more advanced or direct access, you might look into the IOKit framework, but this would likely involve C/Objective-C bindings (e.g., using
ctypes), which is more complex.
Choose a Method and Implement:
- Recommendation: smartctl via subprocess is the most practical choice.
- Parsing Output: Similar to Windows, parse the smartctl output.
Populate Benchmark Object: Map the retrieved SMART values to the Benchmark object.
