SMART hard drives are compliant with the Small Form Factor
Committee Specification for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and
Reporting Technology (SMART). SMART is the industry
standard technology, pioneered by Compaq and originally called
IntelliSafe, that allows you to prevent data loss and minimize
downtime, in concert with Compaq Insight Management
Agents.
Ultra ATA Integrity Monitoring monitors the integrity of data as
it is transferred between an Ultra ATA hard drive and the
system's core logic. If the computer detects an abnormal number
of transmission errors, the computer displays a Local Alert
message with recommended actions. An alert is also sent over
the network to the system administrator.
When the computer encounters an excessive number of error
checking and correcting (ECC) memory errors, the computer
displays a Local Alert message. This message contains detailed
information about the errant memory module, allowing you to
take action before you experience non-correctable memory
errors. The Prefailure Warranty for ECC memory modules
allows you to replace these modules, free of charge, before the
modules actually fail. ECC memory modules are optional on all
Compaq personal computers.
To use this feature, you must replace the standard DIMMs
with ECC DIMMs.
Proactive Backup software initiates a tape or PD-CD backup
upon receiving notice of an impending SMART hard drive
failure.
The Seagate Backup Exec SMART Client works with Seagate
Backup Exec tape backup software on the server, or with
Seagate Backup Exec software supporting the PD-CD drive.
