Table 6. Physical Device Properties
Properties Description
Name Displays the name of the PCIe SSD. The name comprises the
bay ID and the slot in which the PCIe SSD is installed.
State Displays the health state of the PCIe SSD.
Bus Protocol Displays the technology that the PCIe SSD is using.
Device Protocol Displays the device protocol of the physical device, such as
Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe).
NOTE: This feature is not applicable to drives connected
to PERC and software RAID that have RAID capabilities.
In this case, refer to "Bus Protocol" and "Media" from the
same drives.
Device Name Displays the device name of the PCIe SSD.
Media Displays the media type of the physical disk.
Device Life Status
Displays the life status of the PCIe SSD. The device life status
is determined by the following attributes:
Percent Lifetime Used — This attribute is determined by the
elapsed time since the start of use (up to three years) or
percentage of total bytes written (TBW).
Write Protect Progress — This attribute is determined by the
reduction in number of available spare sectors. If the available
