MANAGING AND CUSTOMIZING THE DRIVE – 19

On the WD Drive Utilities screen:

Checking Drive Health

WD Drive Utilities provides three diagnostic tools to help make sure that your drive is

performing well. Run the following tests if you are concerned that your drive is not

operating properly:

• SMART Status Check

SMART is a failure-prediction function that continuously monitors key internal

performance attributes of the drive. A detected increase in drive temperature,

noise, or read/write errors, for example, can provide an indication that the drive

might be approaching a serious failure condition. With advanced warning, you

could take precautionary measures, like moving your data to another drive, before

a failure occurs.

The result of a SMART status check is a pass or fail evaluation of the drive's

condition.

• Quick Drive Test

Your My Passport drive has a built-in Data Lifeguard diagnostic utility that tests

the drive for error conditions. The quick drive test checks the drive for major

performance problems.

The result of a quick drive test is a pass or fail evaluation of the drive's condition.

• Complete Drive Test

The most comprehensive drive diagnostic is the complete drive test. It

methodically tests every sector for error conditions, and inserts bad sector

markers as required.

The best time to run the drive diagnostics and status checks is on a regular basis, before

you encounter any problems with your drive. And, because they are so fast, running the

SMART status check and the quick drive test provides a high level of assurance with

minimal inconvenience. Then, run all three whenever you encounter disk error conditions

when writing or accessing files.

To run drive diagnostics and status checks:

1. Click Go > Applications > WD Drive Utilities to display the WD Drive Utilities screen

(see Figure 4 on page 18).

2. If you have more than one supported My Passport drive connected to your

computer, select the one that you want to check.
