| Failed. |
Total Capacity | Shows the total SATA hard disk capacity. |
Disk Power | The administrator can set the disk to power down after a period |
Management | of inactivity. |
NOTE
When the Status shows Warning, it usually means there are bad sectors on the hard disk. It is shown only as a precaution and you should consider changing the drives.
S.M.A.R.T. Information
On the Disks Information screen, the status of each disk will be displayed in the Status column. Clicking on an OK or Warning link will display the S.M.A.R.T Information window for that particular disk.
S.M.A.R.T. Information
Item | Description |
Tray Number | Tray the hard disk is installed in. |
Model | Model name of the installed hard disk. |
Power ON Hours | Count of hours in |
| shows total count of hours (or minutes, or seconds, depending |
| on manufacturer) in |
Temperature Celsius | The current temperature of the hard disk in degrees Celsius |
Reallocated Sector | Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a |
Count | read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" |
| and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). |
| This process is also known as remapping and "reallocated" |
| sectors are called remaps. This is why, on a modern hard disks, |
| you can not see "bad blocks" while testing the surface - all bad |
| blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, the more |
| sectors that are reallocated, the more a decrease (up to 10% or |
| more) can be noticed in disk read/write speeds. |
Current Pending | Current count of unstable sectors (waiting for remapping). The |
Sector | raw value of this attribute indicates the total number of sectors |
| waiting for remapping. Later, when some of these sectors are |
| read successfully, the value is decreased. If errors still occur |
| when reading sectors, the hard drive will try to restore the data, |
| transfer it to the reserved disk area (spare area), and mark this |
| sector as remapped. If this attribute value remains at zero, it |
| indicates that the quality of the corresponding surface area is |
| low. |
Raw Read Error Rate | This attribute value depends on read errors and disk surface |
| condition, and indicates the rate of hardware read errors that |
| occurred when reading data from a disk surface. Lower values |
| indicate that there is a problem with either the disk surface or |
| the read/write heads. |
Seek Error Rate | Rate of seek errors by the magnetic heads. If there is a failure |
| in the mechanical positioning system, servo damage or a |
| thermal widening of the hard disk, seek errors arise. More seek |
| errors indicates a worsening condition of a disk surface and the |
| disk mechanical subsystem. |
