Yes, there is. S.M.A.R.T. is a hardware thing.
To access and use on a Linux O.S., in terminal enter:
Code:
sudo apt-get install smartmontools

You may use the command line interface to examine using SMART with the "smartctrl" commands. OR, if you prefer GUI,
Code:
sudo apt-get install gsmartcontrol

Or simply use the utility present in 'Disks' in Zorin:
