Working With Solid State Drives - Adaptec Storage Manager User Manual

Working with Solid State Drives

You can use Adaptec Storage Manager to check the status of the SSDs 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 statistics except for longevity.
Note:
For more on using MaxIQ in Adaptec Storage Manager, see
page 79 and Logging Statistics for Remote Analysis on page
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.
