Serial and Parallel ATA Drive Guidelines and Features

4.6 SATA SMART Drives

The Self Monitoring Analysis and Recording Technology (SMART) SATA drives for the HP

Personal Computers have built-in drive failure prediction that warns the user or network

administrator of an impending failure or crash of the hard drive. The SMART drive tracks fault

prediction and failure indication parameters such as reallocated sector count, spin retry count,

and calibration retry count. If the drive determines that a failure is imminent, it generates a fault

alert.

4.7 Drive Capacities

The combination of the file system and the operating system used in the computer determines the

maximum usable size of a drive partition. A drive partition is the largest segment of a drive that

may be properly accessed by the operating system. A single hard drive may therefore be

subdivided into a number of unique drive partitions in order to make use of all of its space.

Because of the differences in the way that drive sizes are calculated, the size reported by the

operating system may differ from that marked on the hard drive or listed in the computer

specification. Drive size calculations by drive manufacturers are bytes to the base 10 while

calculations by Microsoft are bytes to the base 2.
