3 Select a drive to check and click S.M.A.R.T.
4 The S.M.A.R.T. information for the drive will be displayed. Different information may be displayed depending
on the brand of drives in your TeraStation. Critical attributes are displayed in bold. Attributes with current value
less than or equal to the threshold value may be significant. If an attribute reports a failure, or has had one in
the past, it will be displayed in the status column.
Formatting Drives
Notes:
• Under some circumstances, data deleted when a drive is formatted can be recovered. To ensure that data is
"gone forever", a format might not be sufficient. See the "Erasing Data on the TeraStation Completely" section
below.
• After a drive is formatted, the "% Used" and "Amount Used" in Settings will not be 0. This is because some
drive space is used for the system area.
