Changing Device Settings

Depending upon the hard disk in question, and support provided by the current

device driver, you can adjust settings for disk: Read Ahead, Write Cache, TCQ, and

NCQ. Each feature can be enabled or disabled individually.

S.M.A.R.T Status

You can view S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology)

data about a drive to help troubleshoot any problems that occur. You can also setup

T. thresholds are exceeded.

To view the S.M.A.R.T status of a hard disk:

1.

Highlight the “Management” menu, and select the “ Device Management”

function.

2.

Highlight the disk you want to examine.

3. Select the “SMART” command from the “Operation” menu, or click on the

button to display the S.M.A.R.T status/settings window.

attributes, such as chassis temperature readings, disk failure, and the status of the
