➊
Physical Disk ID – Based on the SCSI ID. The disk with the lowest
SCSI ID is disk 0, the disk with the next lowest SCSI ID is disk 1.
➋
Controller – The brand and model of the SCSI chip used on the SCSI
controller.
➌
Controller number – Based on how many SCSI controllers of a
particular type are installed in the system. The first controller of a
type is always numbered 0.
➍
SCSI ID number – A unique number you assign to each SCSI device
installed in the system. This is usually done with jumpers or a thumb
wheel attached to the drive housing.
➎
Size – The raw capacity of the drive. Formatting the drive with
different file systems, FAT or NTFS, may result in different usable
capacity because of the differences in storage management under those
file systems.
➏
Partition number – Within a single drive, partition numbers are
assigned in sequential order: 1, 2, 3, and so on. The partitions
populate the drive from the innermost cylinders to the outermost
cylinders. If you have a large hard disk (over 800 MB) and plan to use
the FAT file system, break the disk into several smaller partitions
because the FAT file system uses disk space more efficiently at smaller
partition sizes. This is not a concern for the NTFS file system,
however, since it uses disk space very efficiently at all partition sizes.
➐
Partition size – The raw (unformatted) storage capacity of the
partition. Actual storage space will differ based on the file system with
which the partition is formatted.
➑
Partition format – The file system (if any) used on a partition. This
field displays FAT, NTFS, or unrecognized (if the partition is
unformatted).
