New laptop. Replaced 1TB HDD w/ 500GB Samsung 850 EVO. Opened bios. Saw SMART Self Test option. Looked up. Learned it's for HDD monitoring. Thought disabling might be good. For all of the many reasons that I could not think of. Opened Toms.
Are there advantages to enabling it?

Samsung 850 EVO is an SSD for anyone who's been living under a spinning disk while they waited for it to work.
