may take several hours to complete.
Fast S.M.A.R.T. test
: Tests the electronic and mechanical performance and disk read
performance, including those on disk buffer, read head, seek time, and integrity of drive
sectors. The short test is performed on a small section of disk platters, and takes about 2

The actual completion time depends on drive sizes and the attributes put to test.

system resources and cause dropped frames with the recording tasks.

requires a volume to be temporarily
disabled; namely, the video
recording will be stopped before
disk verify can be performed.
