The S.M.A.R.T. information for the drive will be displayed. Different information may be displayed depending
on the brand of drives in your TeraStation. Critical attributes are displayed in bold.
Checking Drive Condition
For Hard Drives
Attributes with current value or worst value less than or equal to the threshold value may be significant. If an
attribute reports a failure, or has had one in the past, it will be displayed in the status column. In such a case,
replacing that drive is recommended.
For SSD
Confirm the values of the following attributes.
• Lifetime_Remaining - If the current value is less than the threshold, the drive has reached its guaranteed write
capacity (TBW). Replacing the drive is recommended.
• Reallocated_Sector_Ct - If the current value is 99 or less, unrecoverable blocks are detected. If the current value
is 10 or less, the drive should be replaced with a new drive immediately.
Formatting Drives
Notes:
• Under some circumstances, data deleted when a drive is formatted can be recovered. To ensure that data is "gone
forever", a format might not be sufficient. See the "Erasing Data on the TeraStation Completely" section below.
• After a drive is formatted, the "% Used" and "Amount Used" in Settings will not be 0. This is because some drive
space is used for the system area.
