The SMART attribute Status Flags are:
Table 8-16 SMART Attribute Status Flags
0= an attribute value less than or equal to its
corresponding attribute threshold indicates an advisory
condition where the usage or age of the device has
exceeded its intended design life period.
1= an attribute value less than or equal to its
corresponding attribute threshold indicates a pre-failure
condition where imminent loss of data is being
predicted.
1= the attribute value is updated during normal
operation of the device or during both normal operation
and off-line testing.
1= Attributes that characterizes a performance aspects
of the drive, degradation of which may indicate
imminent drive failure, such as data throughput, seek
times, spin up time, etc.
1= Attribute that is based on the expected, non-fatal
errors that are inherent in disk drives, increases in
which may indicate imminent drive failure, such as
ECC errors, seek errors, etc.
4
Event count 1= Attribute that counts events, of which an excessive
number of which may indicate imminent drive failure,
such as number of re-allocated sectors, etc.
This type is used to specify an attribute that is collected
and saved by the drive automatically.
1= It is a self-preserving attribute type.
