• S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) was first developed by HPE
which detects possible hard disk failure before it occurs, allowing replacement of the
component before failure occurs.
• Drive Parameter Tracking monitors drive operational parameters, predicting failure and
notifying the administrator.
• Dynamic Sector Repairing continually performs background surface scans on the hard disk
drives during inactive periods and automatically remaps bad sectors, ensuring data integrity.
• Smart Array Cache Tracking monitors integrity of controller cache, allowing pre-failure
preventative maintenance.
• Recovery ROM: This feature protects the user from a firmware image corruption by storing a
redundant copy of the firmware image. If the active firmware image becomes corrupt, the
controller will use the redundant firmware image and continue operating.
• On-Line Spares: There is no limit to the number of spare drives that can be installed prior to
drive failure. If a failure occurs, recovery begins with an On-Line Spare and data is
reconstructed automatically.
