Health calculating
Why calculating a disk's health status?
The calculated hard drive's health shown as percentage provides you a better visual
representation of S.M.A.R.T. related problems
A health status warns you of a disk degradation, when S.M.A.R.T. reports a problem
This will help you to protect your data before your disk's failure.
How to calculate a disk's health?
Critical parameters:
Initially a hard disk has 100% health condition.
All S.M.A.R.T. parameters considered by Acronis Drive Monitor as critical for a hard drive (if they are
available for monitoring, it depends on the manufacturer), decrease the health of your disk. Such
attributes have a predefined weight and a maximum limit value (see a Table 1 below).
A limit defines how much the attribute may decrease an overall health value. A weight of an attribute
defines how important the parameter's value decreasing affects the disk's health.
The overall disk health is calculated by a formula below:
