Technical Specifications

Running independently of the operating system, it can be accessed through the computer's setup procedure. It produces an evaluation on whether the hard drive is the source of the problem and needs to be replaced.

 

 

The system expands on the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART), a continuously

 

 

running systems diagnostic that alerts the user to certain types of failures.

 

 

DPS Access through F10 Setup during Boot (F10 diagnostic access not available with SCSI drives)

SMART Technology

Allows hard drives to monitor their own health and to raise flags if imminent failures were predicted

(Self-monitoring, analysis

Predicts failures before they occur. Tracks fault prediction and failure indication parameters such as re-

and reporting technology – allocated sector count, spin retry count, calibration retry count.

Windows XP only)

By avoiding actual hard drive failures, SMART hard drives act as "insurance" against unplanned user

 

 

downtime and potential data loss from hard drive failure.

 

 

SMART I – Drive Failure Prediction

 

 

SMART II – Off-Line Data Collection

 

 

SMART III – Off-Line Read Scanning with Defect Reallocation
