SCT Version (vendor specific): 522 (0x020a) I just got a new 6TB Seagate Barracuda (ST6000DM003-2CY186 firmware 0001, a 5425 RPM drive), which has some interesting stats, including time spent exceeding min/max operating points, and high/low of short-term and log-term temps.

This Directive may appear multiple times for a single device, if you want to ignore This is useful, for example, if you have a very old disk and don't want to keep getting messages about the This Directive modifies the behavior of the '-f' Directive and has no effect without it. i ID Ignore device Attribute number ID when checking for failure of Usage Attributes. You can configure smartd to ignore any given attribute so you can still get a useful notification if anything else crosses a threshold into officially-failing territory.: nf(5) says:

But you won't (or shouldn't) ever be able to make the drive itself lie about the fact that it was over its rated max temp for some time, and thus the attribute did fail in the past. You could certainly justify ignoring that momentary high-temperature, if you really did correct it in minutes. The software you're using looks like it's only showing the current temp, which is slightly below the threshold, but it's not going to hide the fact that the drive was out-of-spec at some point in the past. Lifetime Min/Max Temperature: 35/46 Celsius Power Cycle Min/Max Temperature: 25/42 Celsius Smartctl -x includes this for an old WD Green 1TB (WD10EADS) hard drive: Current Temperature: 36 Celsius Smartctl -a /dev/sda or smartctl -x /dev/sda ( -x prints all available SMART and non-SMART data it can get from the drive, including a temperature history log if the drive has one, with an ASCII bar graph.) You also have some bad sectors (uncorrectable sector errors), so whether the brief high temperature caused that or not, it's probably time to ditch that drive.Ī better SMART software UI would show you the current and max-ever temp. (These are 0.200 normalized values like for any other attribute, not raw Celsius temps.) Note the attribute display shows "normalized: 50, threshold: 45, worst: 45". That's why it says "failed in the past", not "failing now": you did just barely touch the max-temp threshold. The point of current / worst attributes like temperature is exactly this: to tell you if the drive has ever been outside its max operating temperature, and thus might have suffered permanent damage.
