Roughly 60% of all disk drive failures are mechanical in nature - from spindle-bearing wear to read/write heads banging into delicate disk platters - and now technology built into the drives can report anticipated and specific failures to give one a chance to rectify the situation, hopefully before it is too late to retrieve the data. In addition to monitoring a variety of parameters related to mechanical events (disk platter RPM, time to spin up, motor current, head seek failures, and sudden shock to the drive chassis), S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) can report read and write retry attempts necessary due to defective areas on the disk or head failure or drive temperature.
