On the other hand, a system in sleep mode still consumes power to keep the data in the RAM, and thus cannot last indefinitely, as hibernation can. Detaching power from a system in sleep mode results in data loss, while cutting the power of a system in hibernation has no risk; the hibernated system can resume when and if the power is restored.
The software then tells the hard disk drive to unload its heads to prevent them from coming in contact with the platters, thus potentially preventing a head crash. [1] Many laptop vendors have implemented this technology under different names. [2] Some hard-disk drives also include this technology, needing no cooperation from the system. [3]
Hot-swapping a hard drive in a storage server. Hot swapping is the replacement or addition of components to a computer system without stopping, shutting down, or rebooting the system; [1] hot plugging describes the addition of components only. [2]
DevSlp or DevSleep (sometimes referred to as device sleep or SATA DEVSLP) is a feature in some SATA devices which allows them to go into a low power "device sleep" mode when sent the appropriate signal, which uses one or two orders of magnitude less power than a traditional idle (about 5 mW, [1] but some drives can get as low as 2.5 mW [2]).
This can be avoided by unplugging the appliance or using a power strip and using the switch on the power strip to cut all power to the appliance." [3] Standby power used by older devices can be as high as 10–15 W per device, [4] while a modern HD LCD television may use less than 1 W in standby mode. Some appliances use no energy when turned off.
IDENTIFY DEVICE returns the true size of the hard drive. READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS returns the true size of the hard drive. SET MAX ADDRESS reduces the reported size of the hard drive. READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS returns the true size of the hard drive. An HPA has been created. IDENTIFY DEVICE returns the now fake size of the hard drive.
Power-on hours (POH) is the length of time, usually in hours, [1] that electrical power is applied to a device. A part of the S.M.A.R.T. attributes (originally known as IntelliSafe, before its introduction to the public domain on 12 May 1995, by the computer hardware and software company Compaq ), [ 2 ]
