SMART error codes

zeus · 25-07-2006, 03:03 AM

Does anyone kno where I can find a list of explainations of the error codes generated by smart monitoring software?

Both my drives always had 100% for every check but for some reason they both now show 4 or 5 at around 95%. One even says 69%!

the S.M.A.R.T. codes are manufacturer specific, so whoś drives are they
who is your HDD manufacturer ?

Ones a maxtor, ones a samsung and 2 western digital. Maybe its the program I use but they all have the same checks.
Ive found my answer this morning on wiki

Thankfully none are critical. Except the samsung which has 1 for the Reallocated Sectors Count. I think I might pull that apart and see whats inside!
