Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
---|---|---|---|
Temperature |
Indicates the current temperature of this hard disk. |
Celsius |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be within prescribed limits. A sudden/gradual increase in the value of this measure may adversely affect the functioning of the server and therefore, administrators may need to attend to the issue immediately. |
Physical hard disk space utilized |
Indicates the percentage of space that is currently utilized by this hard disk. |
Percent |
A value close to 100 indicates that the hard disk is currently running out of space. Administrators may need to either free up the space or need to add more space to the hard disk to ensure smooth functioning of the server. |
