Drive Self Tests (DPS) Drive Protection System
A diagnostic hard drive self test. It scans critical physical components
and every sector of the hard drive for physical faults and then reports
any faults to the user.
Running independently of the operating system, it can be accessed
through a Windows-based diagnostics utility or through the
computer's setup procedure. It produces an evaluation on whether the
hard disk drive is the source of the problem and needs to be replaced.
The system expands on the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting
Technology (SMART), a continuously running systems diagnostic that
alerts the user to certain types of failures
Yes Yes
DPS Access through F10
Setup during Boot
Yes Yes
SMART Technology
(Self-Monitoring, Analysis
and Reporting Technology)
Allows hard drives to monitor their own health and to raise flags if
imminent failures were predicted
Predicts failures before they occur. Tracks fault prediction and failure
indication parameters such as re-allocated sector count, spin retry
count, calibration retry count
By helping users avoid actual hard drive failures, SMART hard drives
provide protection against unplanned user downtime and potential
data loss from hard drive failure
