Additional Features
Description
Computrace
Computrace agent included; separate software and subscription required
DT or MT Orientation
Product can be oriented in either a tower or desktop orientation
Drive Lock
Implementation of the industry standard ATA Security feature set. When enabled,
it prevents software access to user data on the drive until one or two user-defined
passwords are provided.
Drive Protection System
DPS Access through F10 Setup during Boot
A diagnostic hard drive self test. It scans critical physical components and
every sector of the hard drive for physical faults and then reports any faults
to the user.
Running independently of the operating system, it can be accessed through
a Windows-based diagnostics utility or through the computer's setup
procedure. It produces an evaluation on whether the hard drive is the source
of the problem and needs to be replaced.
The system expands on the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology
(SMART), a continuously running systems diagnostic that alerts the user to certain
types of failures.
SMART Technology (Self-Monitoring,
Analysis and Reporting Technology)
SMART I – Drive Failure Prediction
SMART II – Off-Line Data Collection
SMART III – Off-Line Read Scanning
with Defect Reallocation
SMART IV – End-to-End CRC for hard
drives
Allows hard drives to monitor their own health and to raise flags if imminent
failures were predicted
Predicts failures before they occur. Tracks fault prediction and failure
indication parameters such as re-allocated sector count, spin retry count,
calibration retry count
By avoiding actual hard drive failures, SMART hard drives act as "insurance"
against unplanned user downtime and potential data loss from hard drive
failure
IOEDC: I/O Error Detection Circuitry
Detects errors in Read/Write buffers on HDD cache RAM
Interface in F10 setup provides confirmation of SMART IV support.
