Disk Media Management

d.Number of remaining alternate sectors

The HDD monitors the number of remaining alternate sectors. If the number of spare sectors that can be allocated as alternatives drops below the threshold for a physical reason or due to the size of a control table within the HDD, the HDD considers that a failure prediction reporting condition has developed.

Threshold

200 spare sectors

e.Spin-up time

The HDD monitors the spin-up time. Monitoring begins when a motor startup sequence is initiated at power-on or when the disk is explicitly started by the START UNIT command. At each spin-up run, the HDD compares both the current and previous spin-up times with the threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, the HDD considers that a failure prediction reporting condition has developed.

Threshold

55 seconds

f.G-list update frequency

The HDD monitors the number of G-list updates due to automatic alternate processing that is performed during read processing, in relation to the number of sectors contained in the sample as indicated in Item a. above. The number of G-list updates counted does not include those that are involved in alternate processing performed by the REASSIGN BLOCKS command. If the number of updates reaches the threshold, the HDD considers that a failure prediction reporting condition has developed.

Threshold

300 updates

g.Cumulative power-on time

The HDD maintains the run time that has elapsed since it was shipped. However, there is no failure prediction based on this value.

Threshold

45,000 hours
