Pick Scrutiny if…
Scrutiny suits people who can self-host a drive-monitoring dashboard and want metric history, temperature tracking, and failure notifications. It may be less suitable where a RAID controller does not pass SMART data through or where a more finished project is required.
Pick SMART Sniffer if…
SMART Sniffer suits Home Assistant users who want disk-health warnings across Linux, macOS or Windows machines. It may also suit users who want optional filesystem-usage reporting alongside drive monitoring.
