System Wide Disk reports provide detailed information about the disks in the monitored computers in your system.
Each row in the report gives you detailed information for each disk. For example, the Disks by Grown Defects report allows you to view all the disks in the system sorted in order of the number of grown defects they have on them, and what disks in your system are experiencing problems and may be in danger of an imminent failure. The Disks by Primary Defects report allows you to view all the disks in the system sorted in order of the number of primary defects they have on them and what disks in your system are in good shape and which ones are more or less defective.

You can generate Disk reports by:
Unallocated Space
Grown Defects
Primary Defects
Recovered Errors
Unrecovered Errors

Report Fields
The fields provided in the reports are:
Field Name |
Description |
Computer |
name of the computer containing a disk defect |
Path |
full path to the location of a disk defect |
Primary Defects |
number of defects on the disk when it was new |
Manufacturer |
name of the manufacturer for the disk drive containing the disk defect |
Model |
model number of the disk drive containing a disk defect |
RPM |
speed that the disk turns (revolutions per minute) |
Read Cache |
hardware caching turned on/off for reads |
Write Cache |
hardware caching turned on/off for writes |
Failure Predicted |
disk predicts a failure |
Probe Last Run |
date and time when the last probe was run |
Discovered Time |
date and time when a disk defect was discovered |
Capacity |
storage capacity of the disk drive containing a defect |
Unallocated Space |
amount of unused storage space on the disk drive containing a defect |
Grown Defects |
number of defects detected by the disk since new |
Recovered Errors |
number of errors (read, write, verify) from which the disk was able to recover |
Unrecovered Errors |
number of errors (read, write, verify) from which the disk was not able to recover |
Bytes Written |
number of bytes written to the disk |
Bytes Read |
number of bytes read from the disk |
Automatic Write Reallocation |
disk attempts to move the data sector on the disk in the event of a write error |
Desired Automatic Write Reallocation |
change automatic write allocation on the next probe |
Automatic Read Reallocation |
disk attempts to move the data sector on the disk in the event of a read error |
Desired Automatic Read Reallocation |
change automatic read allocation on the next probe |
Read Continuous |
no error correction (setting is ON = no error correction) |
Desired Read Continuous |
change automatic read continuous on the next probe |
