4 The S.M.A.R.T. information for the drive will be displayed. Different information may be displayed depending
on the brand of drives on your LinkStation. Critical attributes are displayed in bold.
Checking the Drive Condition
Attributes with the worst value that is equal to or less than the threshold value may be significant. If an attribute
reports a failure, or has had one in the past, it will be displayed in the status column. In such a case, replacing that
drive is recommended.
Formatting Drives
Notes:
• Under some circumstances, data deleted when a drive is formatted can be recovered. To ensure that data is “gone
forever”, a format might not be sufficient. Refer to the “Erasing Data on the LinkStation Completely” section below
for more information.
• After a drive is formatted, the “% Used” and “Amount Used” in Settings will not be 0. This is because some drive
space is used for the system area.
