Fault Prevention
The following features offer detection of possible failures before they occur, allowing preventive action to
be taken:
Predictive drive failure detects possible drive failure before it occurs, allowing replacement of the
component before failure occurs.
Background surface scan checks drives during inactive periods and automatically remaps bad sectors,
ensuring data integrity.
HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge reports the amount of lifetime remaining on your SSDs.

Fault Recovery
Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure
Recovery ROM: This feature protects the user from a firmware image corruption by storing a redundant
copy of the firmware image. If the active firmware image becomes corrupt, the controller will use the
redundant firmware image and continue operating.
On-Line Spares: There is no limit to the number of spare drives that can be installed prior to drive failure.
If a failure occurs, recovery begins with an On-Line Spare and data is reconstructed automatically.
DRAM ECC detects and corrects data bit errors.
