If you select a device on a channel (other than an enclosure) and then select Properties, the following tabs are displayed: Drive Info, Capacity, S.M.A.R.T., and LED.
Status—This field appears only for disk drives and it indicates the current status of the drive. Possible values are: Optimal, Failed, Phantom (not physically found), S.M.A.R.T. Warning, Unknown, and Missing.
Type—The class of device; for example: disk drive, CD-ROM, scanner, or printer.
Product—The name given to this device by its vendor.
Vendor—The manufacturer of this device.
Revision—The version number information stored on the device.
Data Rate—The data transfer speed negotiated between the controller and this device.
SCSI ID, LUN—For devices on a SCSI channel the SCSI ID and LUN of the device are reported. These do not apply for ATA and Serial ATA devices and always returns 0.
The Capacity tab appears only for disk drives and when selected, displays a summary view listing the reserved, used, available, and total capacities of the drive.
The capacities are reported in both the number of 512-byte blocks (shown in both decimal and hexadecimal values) and capacity in kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes.
Selecting the detailed option shows information for all segments on the drive. In this view, the following information is displayed for each segment:
Number of the segment
Start and end blocks
Segment size and type
Type indicates how the segment is used. The first and last segments may be reserved. The controller may store the RAID signature at either the beginning or end of the drive. The end of the drive is where the capacity is rounded down to the nearest 100 MB.
If this segment is a component of an array, type indicates the array level the segment is used in. If the segment is not used in an array and is not a reserved area, it is shown as available.
The detailed view defaults to displaying the numbers of the start and end blocks of each segment in decimal values. A drop-down list is provided to allow you to display these numbers in either hexadecimal or capacity.
For hard disk drives that support the Self-Monitory Analysis and Reporting Technology (commonly known as S.M.A.R.T.) predictive failure reporting, this additional tab appears with the following entries:
Enabled—Indicates if S.M.A.R.T. reporting is enabled on this device.
Predictive failure occurred—Indicates if this device has reported a predictive failure.
The tab appears on hard disk drives, and has two buttons, Blink LED and Unblink All.
Blink LED—Click this button to cause the activity LED of the selected drive to blink. Use this to identify the drive. The activity LED continues to blink until you click Unblink All.
Unblink All—Click this button to cancel the effect of the Blink LED button for all drives.
