Description

 

 

0

Pre failure/advisory

0= an attribute value less than or equal to its

 

 

 

 

corresponding attribute threshold indicates an advisory

 

 

 

 

condition where the usage or age of the device has

 

 

 

 

exceeded its intended design life period.

 

 

 

 

1= an attribute value less than or equal to its

 

 

 

 

corresponding attribute threshold indicates a pre-failure

 

 

 

 

condition where imminent loss of data is being

 

 

 

 

predicted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

On-line data collection

1= the attribute value is updated during normal

 

 

 

 

operation of the device or during both normal operation

 

 

 

 

and off-line testing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2

Performance

1= Attributes that characterizes a performance aspects

 

 

 

 

of the drive, degradation of which may indicate

 

 

 

 

imminent drive failure, such as data throughput, seek

 

 

 

 

times, spin up time, etc.

 

 

3

Error rate

1= Attribute that is based on the expected, non-fatal

 

 

 

 

errors that are inherent in disk drives, increases in

 

 

 

 

which may indicate imminent drive failure, such as

 

 

 

 

ECC errors, seek errors, etc.

 

 

4

Event count

1= Attribute that counts events, of which an excessive

 

 

 

 

number of which may indicate imminent drive failure,

 

 

 

 

such as number of re-allocated sectors, etc.

 

 

5

Self-preserving

This type is used to specify an attribute that is collected

 

 

 

 

and saved by the drive automatically.

 

 

 

 

1= It is a self-preserving attribute type.
