![]() These values are displayed in hexadecimal format. In contrast, the Value column contains an evaluated number which depends on the manufacturer and the hard disk. These values are not evaluated by the hard disk. In the Data column the raw measured values are displayed. Usage limit exceeded: for a non-critical attribute the value exceeded the threshold (value is smaller than threshold). įail: for a critical attribute the value exceeded the threshold (value is smaller than threshold).Usually displayed for the attributes indicating only statistical information. OK (Always passing): the threshold is zero so it is not possible to have smaller value. OK: the value is same or greater than the threshold. In the Status column the current status of the attribute is displayed. In the Worst column, the worst value ever measured is displayed. If the attribute is a critical one, the red X is displayed in this case at the start of this line. If the Value column contains a number which is smaller than the threshold, the attribute is not correct. The Threshold column contains the threshold value for the attribute. Most attributes are widely used by all (or almost all) manufacturers but the value and meaning of some attributes are unknown because the manufacturer does not release such information. Then the name of the attribute is displayed - if it is not unknown. If the attribute directly affects hard disk health status and it can reach a critical level, Hard Disk Sentinel displays a green tick mark (attribute OK) or red X (attribute is not correct) before the number. The set of attributes may vary on different hard disks of the same manufacturer but same type hard disks usually have same attribute lists (there may be exceptions, as firmware updates may add/change attributes).įrom left to right, the list begins with the identifier (number), it can be between 0 and 255. The list is fixed, it is not possible to add or remove attributes after the hard disk left the factory. The list of the attributes defined by the manufacturer - so not all hard disks contain all attributes. These provided by the hard disk (or SSD) to reflect the actual status. Depending on the drive type, connection, different kind of attributes and different sections/values displayed. attributes are displayed for the selected disk drive. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) page the list of S.M.A.R.T. For some SSDs (NVMe/PCIe SSDs), manufacturers provide recommended warning/alert temperatures: if these available, they displayed on the Information page.On the S.M.A.R.T. SSDs generally work (and tolerate) higher temperatures better, so the temperature thresholds can be adjusted: maybe on this page (generally if you use an SSD only) or on the Temperature page: in the upper right area, it is possible to specify custom temperature thresholds for the particular SSD (or hard disk drive). The colors help to indicate the current status and seriousness of possible issues. The text description on the Overview page is red. ![]() Below 25%, the disk drive has high number of problems and an immediate replacement is recommended. The text description on the Overview page is yellow. Between 25 and 50%, the disk drive is still acceptable but may be better to plan replacement. The text description on the Overview page is green. Above 50% health, the disk drive is displayed with green, as the disk drive can be used. The temperature tray icon displayed with red. Above 50 Celsius, the temperature is high. The temperature tray icon displayed with yellow Between 43 and 50 Celsius, the temperature is a bit high (especially if the hard disk is idle, does not performing read/write which may increase further) but can be still acceptable. The temperature tray icon displayed with green Up to 42 Celsius the temperature for the hard disk drive is ideal. Generally the default settings of Hard Disk Sentinel are applicable for most hard disk drives: I'd suggest to check the Configuration -> Thresholds/Tray icon page, where it is possible to review the default settings and adjust if required.
