MHDD SMART Data Values

[gyrfalcon]

When MHDD lists SMART (F8) something like this:

Code:

Name                           Val   Worst   Raw

5 : Reallocated sectors count:   68   68   0
9: Power-on time:                39   39   26898
196: Reallocated event count:    46   46   1296
199: Ultra ATA CRC Error Rate:   200   200   28


What exactly does the Val, Worst and Raw attributes represent? For example the power-on time Raw value represents hours.. What does val/worst represent? I have the identical question regarding reallocated event count since some drives will list 68 68 0.

Thanks.

Wow, you can paste a single link which I already had viewed. Nothing in that wiki article addresses the questions I asked.

Each drive manufacturer defines a set of attributes, and sets threshold values beyond which attributes should not pass under normal operation. Each attribute has a raw value, whose meaning is entirely up to the drive manufacturer (but often corresponds to counts or a physical unit, such as degrees Celsius or seconds), and a normalized value, which ranges from 1 to 253 (with 1 representing the worst case and 253 representing the best). Depending on the manufacturer, a value of 100 or 200 will often be chosen as the "normal" value.

Way to be a dick to the person answering your question.

Visit the links, on the bottom of that web page.

Did you search this site, and the internet before asking ?

That doesn't answer it at all...

No @#$%... So besides quoting stuff you don't understand why don't you explain what a normalized value of 39 would represent for power-on time? Why would the reallocated sectors count have a value of 68 if the raw value is 0.

Why don't send a mail to your drive manufacturer?

I'm sorry you don't understand the words on the screen. Sure, anyone here could take the time to write you a paragraph about what that means, but why should they if you're just going to be a douchebag to anyone who doesn't just outright spoonfeed you stuff the instant you ask for it?

I'm not asking to be spoon feed, nor for anyone to reply the instant I ask a question. It's obvious no one here can tell me why the manufactures set the values in the way they did... It's fairly obvious that most of the users in this forum want to be l33t, so be it. I'll go elsewhere with my douche bag attitude and knowledge dating back to MFM drives.
