Property Definition

Media Displays the media type of the physical disk. The possible values are:

• HDD — Hard Disk Drive. A HDD is a non-volatile storage device which stores

digitally-encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces.

• SSD — Solid-State Drive. An SSD is a data storage device that uses solid-

state memory to store persistent data.

• Unknown — Storage Management is unable to determine the media type of

the physical disk.

Used RAID Disk Space Displays the amount of the physical disk space that is used by the virtual disks on the

controller. This property is not applicable for physical disks attached to non-RAID

controllers.

In certain circumstances, the Used RAID Disk Space displays a value of zero (0) even

though a portion of the physical disk is actually being used. This occurs when the

used space is 0.005GB or less. The algorithm for calculating the used disk space

rounds off a figure of 0.005GB or less than zero. Used disk space that is between

0.006GB and 0.009GB is rounded off to 0.01GB.

Available RAID Disk Space Displays the amount of available space on the disk. This property is not applicable for

physical disks attached to non-RAID controllers.

Hot Spare Indicates whether the disk has been assigned as a hot spare. This property is not

applicable for physical disks attached to non-RAID controllers.

Vendor ID Displays the hardware vendor of the disk.

Product ID Displays the product ID of the disk.

Revision Displays the firmware version of the disk.

Serial No. Displays the serial number of the disk.

Negotiated Speed Displays the speed of data transfer that the disk negotiated while spinning up and

upon initial communication with the controller. This speed is dependent on the speed

of the disk, the capable speed of the controller, the current speed of the controller on

that connector, and the speed of the Enclosure Management Module (EMM) on the

enclosure.

Capable Speed Displays the highest possible speed with which the device can transfer data.

Manufacture Day Displays the day of the month on which the physical disk was manufactured.

Manufacture Week Displays the week of the year during which the physical disk was manufactured.

Manufacture Year Displays the year in which the physical disk was manufactured.

SAS Address Displays the SAS address of the physical disk. The SAS address is unique to each

SAS disk.

After Import Status Displays the status of the physical disk after importing the foreign configuration.

Possible values are:

• Foreign

• Online

• Offline

• Replaced
