cache, called a cache segment. If the commands being sent or the data being
sent back is smaller or the same size as a cache segment, it would register
here. This number doesn't necessarily indicate something good or bad – just a
number of commands sent which were not the same size or smaller than the
cache segment – most are not.
Number of Read or Write Commands who's size > Segment Size: This
indicates data or commands which had to be broken up into multiple transfers
to send to the drive or the computer. This doesn't mean anything good or bad.
Vendor (Factory) Information: This is a category heading for the next two
lines.
Number of Hours Powered Up: This indicates how long a drive has been
powered up (in hours), regardless of whether or not it was reading or writing –
even just sitting idle counts as being powered up. In fact, if the drive had
power and was put to sleep, it would also be counted here.
Number of Minutes until next SMART test: The drive has two diagnostic
tests. One is a quick test, which only takes a few seconds, and is run by the
drive itself (if not manually triggered). The other is a full surface scan, which is
only initiated by the user. In this example, there is 1 minute until the drive is
going to run the quick test on itself. The quick test is how the drive updates this
information.
The next section shows the Error Counter log. The output, when viewed with a
fixed-space font, forms a table – here is a sample of what that table might look
like:
