•
S.M.A.R.T. Support—Indicates whether or not the SCSI physical drive supports S.M.A.R.T. The
possible values are:
◦ Available—This drive supports predictive failure monitoring.
◦ Not available—Predictive failure monitoring is not available for this drive.
◦ Unknown—The Storage Agents cannot determine if the drive supports predictive failure
monitoring. You may need to upgrade your driver or Storage Agents.
NOTE: A value of Unknown indicates that the agents cannot determine this information
from the physical drive.
•
Current Width—Displays the current negotiated data transfer width for a SCSI physical drive.
The possible values are:
◦ Narrow (8 bits)—The negotiated data transfer width for this drive is narrow (8 data bits).
◦ Wide (16 bits)—The negotiated data transfer width for this drive is wide (16 data bits).
◦ Unknown—The Storage Agents are unable to determine the current negotiated data
transfer width for this drive.
•
Current Speed—Displays the current negotiated data transfer rate for a SCSI physical drive.
The possible values are:
◦ Asynchronous—The negotiated data transfer rate for this drive is asynchronous.
◦ Fast—The negotiated data transfer rate for this drive is 20 megabytes per second.
◦ Ultra—The negotiated data transfer rate for this drive is 40 megabytes per second.
◦ Ultra2—The negotiated data transfer rate for this drive is 80 megabytes per second.
◦ Ultra3—The negotiated data transfer rate for this drive is 160 megabytes per second.
◦ Ultra320—The negotiated data transfer rate for this device is 320 megabytes per second.
◦ Unknown—The agent is unable to determine the negotiated data transfer rate for this
drive.
NOTE: If the negotiated data transfer width is Narrow (8 bits), the actual data transfer rate
is equal to half the negotiated data transfer rate. For example, if the current negotiated data
transfer rate is Ultra (40 megabytes per second) and the width is Narrow, then the actual
data transfer rate is 20 megabytes per second.
•
Placement—Indicates whether the physical drive is in an internal or external storage system.
The following values are valid:
◦ Internal—The physical drive is in an internal storage system.
◦ External—The physical drive is in an external storage system.
◦ Unknown—The physical drive is not in a storage system or the Storage Agents cannot
determine the drive placement.
—This symbol indicates that the drive is a hot plug drive.
•
Rotational Speed—Indicates the rotational speed of the drive in revolutions per minute.
