Using the TOSHIBA RAID Utility

TOSHIBA RAID Console Utility

Enable S.M.A.R.T. — Detects predictable drive failures by monitoring the motor, head, and performance of the physical disk drives. S.M.A.R.T. logs a record in the Windows Event Viewer when performance of a physical drive is below specification values. See your Windows operating system online help for information on using Windows Event Viewer.

You can also check the status of a hard disk drive on the TOSHIBA RAID Console. See “Viewing the status of a hard disk drive” on page 243 for more information.

Drive lifetime is not always accurately predicted using information from S.M.A.R.T. To avoid loss of data, it is recommended that the hard drive be replaced immediately after receipt of a S.M.A.R.T. warning.

NOTE

You can view the status of a hard disk drive on the TOSHIBA

 

RAID Console. See “Viewing the status of a hard disk drive” on

 

page 243 for more information.
