SHI (Storage Health Inspector)
The NewerTech Web Manager has a built-in health monitoring system to allow for monitoring of drive
characteristics and S.M.A.R.T status attributes. To access, click on the "SHI" menu item.
Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) is a monitoring system built into drives to monitor different
health attributes to assist in warning of potential problems before catastrophic failure can occur. To view the S.M.A.R.T
status attributes of an attached drive, click on "SMART" to expand the attributes for viewing.
Within the SHI section of the Web Manager, you can also set the temperature warning threshold for attached drives. Certain
drives have different maximum operating temperatures, so always check your drive's specifications before changing the
threshold setting. If a temperature exceeds the
threshold, it will turn from green to red.
NOTE: as shown at right. some host devices may
not support SMART data reporting -- in this case
the temperature reading may show as "Failed",
and the other SMART attributes will not appear.
SHI will also display the number of bad sectors
found and repaired. Having a small number
is acceptable, but if the number continually
grows or the number turns red, it is strongly
recommended to replace the drive.
