Tarkista kiintolevysi ongelmien varalta

Kiintolevyn tarkistaminen

Kiintolevyissä on sisäänrakennettu toiminta-analysaattori nimeltään SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), joka jatkuvasti tarkistaa levyä ongelmien varalta. SMART myös varoittaa sinua, jos levysi on rikkoutumassa välttääksesi tärkeän tiedon menettämistä.

Although SMART runs automatically, you can also check your disk’s health by running the Disks application:

Levyn kunnon tarkastaminen Levyt-ohjelmalla

  1. Open Disks from the desktop.

  2. Select the disk you want to check from the list of storage devices on the left. Information and status of the disk will be shown.

  3. Click the menu button and select SMART Data & Self-Tests…. The Overall Assessment should say “Disk is OK”.

  4. See more information under SMART Attributes, or click the Start Self-test button to run a self-test.

Mitä jos kiintolevy ei ole kunnossa?

Even if the Overall Assessment indicates that the disk isn’t healthy, there may be no cause for alarm. However, it’s better to be prepared with a backup to prevent data loss.

If the status says “Pre-fail”, the disk is still reasonably healthy but signs of wear have been detected which mean it might fail in the near future. If your hard disk (or computer) is a few years old, you are likely to see this message on at least some of the health checks. You should backup your important files regularly and check the disk status periodically to see if it gets worse.

Jos se huononee, sinun kannattaa viedä tietokone/kiintolevy ammattilaiselle tarkempiin testeihin tai korjaukseen.
