DESCRIPTION

 

NAME

 

 

 

 

 

190

Temperature

High

This indicates the value of 100 - the temperature in degrees Celsius.

 

 

Difference from

 

Manufacturers can set a minimum threshold that corresponds to a

 

 

100

 

maximum temperature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

191

G-sense error

Low

This is the number of mistakes caused by impact loads.

 

 

rate

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

192

Power-off Retract

Low

This is how many times the heads are loaded off the media.

 

 

Count

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

193

Load/Unload

Low

This is the number of load and unload cycles into head landing zone

 

 

Cycle

 

position.

 

 

 

 

 

 

194

Temperature

Low

This is the hard drive’s internal temperature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

195

Hardware ECC

High

This is the time between ECC (Error Correction Code)-corrected errors.

 

 

Recovered

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

196

Reallocation

Low

This is the total number of reallocation (remap) operations. The raw value

 

 

Event Count

 

is the total attempts to move data from reallocated sectors to a spare

 

 

 

 

area. Successful and unsuccessful attempts are both included.

 

 

 

 

 

 

197

Current Pending

Low

This is the number of unstable sectors awaiting reallocation. If the sector

 

 

Sector Count

 

is later successfully written or read, this value decreases and reallocation

 

 

 

 

is not performed. Only failed write attempts cause a reallocation, not read

 

 

 

 

errors. This can be difficult to test since only direct I/O writes to the disk

 

 

 

 

cause reallocations, not cached writes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

198

Uncorrectable

Low

This is the number of errors reading or writing a sector that were not

 

 

Sector Count

 

correctable. An increase in this value is an indicator of disk surface

 

 

 

 

defects or mechanical subsystem problems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

199

UltraDMA CRC

Low

This is the number of data transfer errors through the interface cable

 

 

Error Count

 

according to the ICRC (Interface Cyclic Redundancy Check).

 

 

 

 

 

 

200

Write Error Rate

Low

This is the total number of errors in writing sectors.

 

 

/ Multi-Zone

 

 

 

 

Error Rate

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

201

Soft Read Error

Low

This is the number of read/write head off-track errors. If the value is not

 

 

Rate

 

zero, make a backup.

 

 

 

 

 

 

202

Data Address

Low

This is the number of data address mark errors. This could also be a

 

 

Mark Errors

 

different, manufacturer-specific attribute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

203

Run Out Cancel

Low

This is the number of ECC (Error Correction Code) errors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

204

Soft ECC

Low

This is the number of errors corrected by software ECC (Error Correction

 

 

Correction

 

Code).

 

 

 

 

 

 

205

Thermal Asperity

Low

This is the number of thermal asperity errors. Thermal asperity is a read

 

 

Rate (TAR)

 

signal spike caused by sensor temperature rise due to touching the disk

 

 

 

 

surface or contaminant particles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

206

Flying Height

 

This is the height of the hard drive’s read/write heads above the disk

 

 

 

 

surface.

 

 

 

 

 

 

207

Spin High

 

This is the quantity of high current used to spin up the drive.

 

 

Current

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

208

Spin Buzz

 

This is the number of buzz routines to spin up the drive. When the arm

 

 

 

 

holding the read/write heads is stuck, the motor driving it tries to oscillate

 

 

 

 

the arm to free it. This causes an audible vibration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

209

Offline Seek

 

This is the hard drive’s seek performance during offline operations. Offline

 

 

Performance

 

operations are tests the drive does itself as opposed to those that an

 

 

 

 

external diagnostic tool has it do. Seek performance is how quickly the

 

 

 

 

drive moves from track to track.
