   Q1: What is S.M.A.R.T.? 
   A1: Technology S.M.A.R.T. - Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting 
       Technology (from the English. "Technology Samodiagnostiki, analysis and reporting 
       ta ") - was designed to improve reliability and safety 
       data on hard disks. In most cases, SMART-compatible 
       mye device allows us to predict the occurrence of the most probable 
       mistakes, thereby allowing the user to make backup 
       and / or completely replace the drive before leaving the building. 

   Q2: What is T.E.C.? 
   A2: T.E.C. - Threshold Exceeded Condition - the approximate date of achieving 
       attribute threshold. For the first time taking 
       Unknown maet value and remains so to attribute changes in 
       worse. Possible situation in which a brand new wine - 
       Chester may indicate the possibility of failure in the near future, 
       preceding. This is due to the fact that early in life 
       some of the attributes of the hard drive can dramatically change its value. 
       Since then, the importance of returning to normal and the date of TEC gradually otod - 
       vigaetsya in the future. A typical example - setting Spin Up Time (time - 
       Name promotion spindle) on the hard drive Quantum. 

   Q3: On a new disk (Quantum, Maxtor) plummeted Attribute Spin Up 
       Time. What is it? 
   A3: Spin Up Time - the time of promotion of the spindle. The fall of Spin Up Time standards 
       malnoe phenomenon in the first months of operation in many modern 
       governmental harddisk. There is no need to worry. 

   Q4: The new Seagate disk plummeted Attribute Seek Error Rate. 
       What is it? 
   A4: Seek Error Rate - the frequency of errors positioning BMG. 
       The fall Seek Error Rate normal in the first months of eq - 
       spluatatsii on the hard drive Seagate. This does not mean that Seagate 
       bad mechanics, simply has its own peculiarities in the counting 
       this attribute. 

   Q5: What is the Threshold, Value, Worst, Raw? 
   A5: Threshold - the threshold value for the attribute. Reduction in the critical 
       economically important attribute is below the threshold means a quick exit wine - 
       Chester damage. 
       Value - the current value of the attribute in conventional units. 
       Worst - the worst attribute value for all of the operation. 
       Raw - normalized attribute value. For each attribute you - 
       chislyaetsya in its own way. For example, the attribute Reallocated Sector Count -- 
       redirection number of sectors in hexadecimal form. 

   Q6: Where can I find a description of the attributes SMART 
   A6: In the documentation for the program is a complete description of the attributes in the Russian - 
       Soviet language. 

   Q7: Pochital description, it is still not understood. At that we should draw 
       attention in the first place? 
   Q7: In the first place need to look at setting Reallocated Sectors. 
       If it is nonzero, it is an occasion to think about replacing vinches - 
       tera.
