Using the RAID-0 or RAID-1 Utility

Toshiba RAID Console Utility

5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3

❖

Enable S.M.A.R.T. — Detects predictable drive failures 

by monitoring the motor, head, and performance of the 
physical disk drives. 

S.M.A.R.T. logs a record in the Windows Event Viewer 

when performance of a physical drive is below 
specification values. See your Windows operating system 
online help for information on using Windows Event 
Viewer.

You can also check the status of a hard disk drive on the 

TOSHIBA RAID Console. See 

“Viewing the status of a 

hard disk drive” on page 282

 for more information.

Drive lifetime is not always accurately predicted using 
information from S.M.A.R.T. To avoid loss of data, it is 
recommended that the hard drive be replaced immediately 
after receipt of a S.M.A.R.T. warning. 

You can view the status of a hard disk drive on the TOSHIBA 
RAID Console. See 

“Viewing the status of a hard disk drive” on 

page 282

 for more information.
