SMART Status on macOS

Hello

I’ve noticed that using Windows WD Dashboard I can check the SMART status of the drive with info about the previous usage of the device. Why isn’t smart checking supported on macOS? Do I have to install anything more? I have already installed the DriveDX SAT SMART driver so I’m usually able to see the status of any other usb SSD/HDD.
