PDM

Predictive Data Migration (PDM) is the migration of data from the suspect disk drive to
a spare drive. PDM is similar to rebuilding a disk array, but unlike in rebuilding, PDM
automatically copies your data to a spare drive before the drive fails and your logical
drive goes "critical. "
PDM can be triggered automatically by Media Patrol.
