I saw the following on a Fujitsu MHS2020AT, but I couldn't find a spec for the drive. However, the Windows program "Drive Health" decodes it as: 200 Write Error Count This is different than the current "Multi Zone Error Rate" in SmartMon, which has a comment about "Western Digital" in the source. The value was 3343 with the normalized value of 100, so I don't know enough about it to say which one it really is. |

Is "Drive Health" a Fujitsu program or non-vendor-specific? If you could post the output from smartctl -a and Drive Health for any disks that you own, I'd find it interesting/useful. I've got most of the infrastructure in place to start recognizing drive model numbers and setting the various -v options automatically. When that's ready, these things will get set automatically unless you choose to turn it off. [At the moment the infrastructure simply uses regular expressions to see if the user has particular IBM drives that are known to have SMART-impaired firmware, and then warns the user to be sure that the firmware is up-to-date.] Cheers, Bruce |

Hi Taed, I've now added this into smartctl and smartd as the option/Directive: -v 200,writeerrorcount It's in CVS.
