5.10 Hard Drive Functions

The hard drive icons represent hard drives connected to the SuperTrak66 controller card. The icons will be identified by the drive’s make, model, status, size, DMA mode, and array configuration.

Hard Drive Information View

Since the hard drives are the last level in the SuperCheck Tree View, the Object View will not contain any information. Double-clicking on a hard drive icon updates the Information View with information regarding the particular drive, as depicted below.
