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.
Also see Running PDM on a Logical Drive.
