assigned to logical drives, spare drives and currently unassigned physical drives
that were once part of a logical drive or a spare. Media Patrol does not check new
physical drives that have never been configured nor physical drives assigned as
JBOD.
Unlike Synchronization and Redundancy Check, Media Patrol is concerned with
the condition of the media itself, not the data recorded on the media. If Media
Patrol encounters a suspect sector, it will attempt to regenerate the data and
write to the suspect sector. If the write operation is successful, Media Patrol
continues checking other sectors. If the write operation fails, Media Patrol reports
the error to your PC's system log and to the physical drive's Bad Sector Log (see
page 66). This action triggers a BSL update message and an email message if
you enabled that notification option (see page 47).
