DESCRIPTION

NAME

 

 

 

220

Disk Shift

Low

This is how far the disk has moved relative to the spindle (this kind of

 

 

 

shift is usually due to shock).

 

 

 

 

221

G-Sense Error

Low

This is the number of errors that have resulted from external vibration

 

Rate

 

and shock.

 

 

 

 

222

Loaded Hours

 

This is how long the hard drive has operated under data load (this

 

 

 

requires movement of the magnetic head armature).

 

 

 

 

223

Load/Unload

 

This is how many time the magnetic head has changed position.

 

Retry Count

 

 

 

 

 

 

224

Load Friction

Low

This is resistance caused by friction in mechanical parts during operation.

 

 

 

 

225

Load/Unload

Low

This is the total number of load cycles.

 

Cycle Count

 

 

 

 

 

 

226

Load 'In'-time

 

This is the total time that the magnetic heads actuator has had a load

 

 

 

(not been in the parking area).

 

 

 

 

227

Torque

Low

This is the number of attempts to compensate for variations in platter

 

Amplification

 

speed.

 

Count

 

 

 

 

 

 

228

Power-Off

Low

This is how many times the magnetic armature was automatically

 

Retract Cycle

 

retracted because the power was cut.

 

 

 

 

230

GMR Head

 

This is the amplitude of thrashing (or the distance of repetitive forward

 

Amplitude

 

and reverse head motion).

 

 

 

 

231

Temperature

Low

This is the hard drive’s temperature.

 

 

 

 

240

Head Flying

 

This is the total time that the head has been positioning.

 

Hours

 

 

 

 

 

 

250

Read Error Retry

Low

This is the number of errors in reading from the disk.

 

Rate

 

 

 

 

 

 

264
