You can use Adaptec Storage Manager to check the status of the Solid State Drives in your system. You can use this information to verify the health of your SSDs and to predict drive failures.
For MaxIQ-compatible SSDs, Adaptec Storage Manager displays SMART statistics for the drive using Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology. It also displays wear-level and longevity indicators. For non-MaxIQ-compatible SSDs, Adaptec Storage Manager displays the same set of statistics except for longevity.
Note! For a list of MaxIQ-compatible Solid State Drives, see www.adaptec.com/compatibility.
To view the SMART statistics for a SSD, select the drive in the Physical Devices View, click the Properties button, then select the Smart tab. To view wear-level and longevity indicators for the SSD, select the Status tab. (Show Me!)
What Do the SMART Statistics and Wear-Level Indicators Mean?
Name |
Description |
Power-On Hours |
Number of power-on hours over life of device |
Power Cycle Count |
Number of power-cycle events over life of device |
Available Reserved Space |
Number of remaining reserve blocks |
Reallocated Sector Count |
Number of bad sectors |
Host Writes |
Number of sectors written by the host (1 sector = 512 bytes); increases by 1 for every 65536 sectors written. |
Media Wear-Out Indicator |
% wear remaining, based on number of NAND media cycles. SSD will be marked as Failed if wear-level goes below threshold value |
Longevity: Power-on Hours |
Predicted SSD longevity based on remaining number of power-on hours |
Longevity: Future Writes |
Predicted SSD longevity based on remaining number of writes |
