Indicates whether device SMART is predicting device failure.

NOTE: The SAS 6ir controllers do support Drive Status LED operation on Dell
PowerEdge systems which include drive status LEDs. Status LED support is only
supported for drives which are configured as members of a Virtual Disk or Hot Spare.
SAS 6iR supported Drive Status LED states may vary from those supported by other
hardware based RAID solutions such as PERC 6.
NOTE: Replacing a member of an array in the Permanently Degraded state will result in
the new physical disk being displayed as failed since resynchronization is possible. This
does not indicate an actual failure on the new physical disk.
