Viewing Drive Information
Left-clicking on a given drive icon or ID in the left pane will show similar information as the
Array Window Drive Information in the right pane.
Status (also shown under the Array Window) It could be Functional, Critical, or
Offline.
Functional: The drive is working normally.
Critical: A problem has been detected in the drive and the drive has been taken
offline as part of a mirroring array. Mirrored arrays will continue to function
without the drive. Fix/replace the drive that has failed then restore data
from a backup source.
Offline: Drives that are NOT identified as “bad” may be taken offline if part of a
Striping or Spanning array contains a “bad” drive. These drives do NOT
need to be replaced, however.
S.M.A.R.T. Status: Indicates whether the attached hard drive implements Self-
Monitoring Analysis & Reporting Technology to predict drive failure.
Size: Indicates the capacity of the individual drive.

the drive that is Master or Slave. This allows you to identify the drives for
removal/replacement.
Mapping: Indicates the physical parameters of the drive (cylinders, heads, sectors).
Timing: Shows the drive timing (directly related to burst speed) based on the type
of drive and cable used.
