S.M.A.R.T. Information

On the Disks Information screen, the

status of each disk will be displayed in the

Status column. Clicking on an OK or

Warning link will display the S.M.A.R.T

Information window for that particular disk.

You may also perform disk SMART test,

simply to click “Test” to start with. The result

is only for reference and system will not take

any action from its result.

S.M.A.R.T. Information

Item Description

Tray Number Tray the hard disk is installed in.

Model Model name of the installed hard disk.

Power ON Hours

Count of hours in power-on state. The raw value of this attribute

shows total count of hours (or minutes, or seconds, depending on

manufacturer) in power-on state.

Temperature Celsius The current temperature of the hard disk in degrees Celsius

Reallocated Sector

Count

Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a

read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated"

and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area).

This process is also known as remapping and "reallocated" sectors

are called remaps. This is why, on a modern hard disks, you can

not see "bad blocks" while testing the surface - all bad blocks are

hidden in reallocated sectors. However, the more sectors that are

reallocated, the more a decrease (up to 10% or more) can be

noticed in disk read/write speeds.

Current Pending Sector

Current count of unstable sectors (waiting for remapping). The

raw value of this attribute indicates the total number of sectors

waiting for remapping. Later, when some of these sectors are read

successfully, the value is decreased. If errors still occur when

reading sectors, the hard drive will try to restore the data, transfer

it to the reserved disk area (spare area), and mark this sector as

remapped. If this attribute value remains at zero, it indicates that

the quality of the corresponding surface area is low.

Test Type Set short or long time to test.
