Drive

Here you can check on the status of all your drives. You can also inspect their S.M.A.R.T. information and conduct tests on your drives.

  • S.M.A.R.T. Info: S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Report Technology. It is a type of self-monitoring mechanism for drives that detects and reports on various indicators of reliability, with the hope of anticipating failures.
  • Disk Doctor: Here you can check your drives for bad sectors or conduct S.M.A.R.T. tests.
  • IronWolf Health Management: The Seagate IronWolf Health Management function can provide more detailed detection information for IronWolf series hard disks. Before the possibility of a hard disk error occurring, a notification or warning message will be issued.
  • If you are using a Seagate IronWolf or IronWolf Pro series hard drive with a capacity of over or equal to 4 TB, you only need to navigate to [Storage Manager] [Drive] [Disk Doctor] and the [IronWolf Health Management] window will appear. You can use this function to schedule or immediately carry out a scan.
  • After using IronWolf Health Management to scan your hard drives, the results will either be shown as “healthy” or a numerical output code. Please see the chart below to see the suggestions represented by the codes.
