Remember, this is data reported back by the drive based on the manufacturer's interpretation. A perfect example is data field 231, loosely defined as 'Life Left' for SSD drive. Or worse, they will come up with a way to report back a lower value and use that in a positive spin, even the meaning of what that data really indicates has been redefined by them. Some makers have added on additional data fields to report so called 'SSD' specific info, but other makers are not required to use them, or if they do, don't necessarily report back the same data, since the definition is so open. When it comes to SSD/non mechanical drives, many of the data types/info defined by SMART are ambiguous at best, or meaningless, or at worse used by manufacturers to bolster their product when in fact they are irrelevant. Your strategy should be to always have multiple backups of key data, so that when and if a drive fails, your data is safe, rather than obsessing about whether to replace a drive the first time it shows any negative indication.Ģ) Regards SSDs, the SMART standard and specification was developed at a time when all drives were rotational. Don't get caught up too much in what SMART data is saying, unless you see a trend overtime. I've had rotational drives during the initial 'burn in' period that show a increase in some of the so called negative indicators (bad sectors reallocated) but then 'settle down' and continue working fine for years afterwards with no increases. There are several industry studies which have shown that correlation between SMART data, predictions made based on the data and actual failure rates, is NOT that strong.possibly only correlated in less than a third of hard drive failures. These ratings need to be taken in context, or at least take with grain of salt. Once data is returned, then SOME programs that try to calculate and give a 'probability' of failure or life expectancy rating. There really isn't any enforcement to keep manufacturers in line as far as how their devices report. Ultimately, the manufacturer of the drive decides how and what to report back. In many cases, manufacturers themselves don't adhere to the same interpretation of what a particular data field means relative to their product. Users need to realize, this app (and similar ones) are dependent and/or influenced by several external factors.ġ) The information returned by SMART is open to interpretation. Campus zones are also on the same ‘level’ as Park and Industry zones, and can’t overlap (but they can overlap with District zones). It’s not possible to mix and match building types across Campus types. Unlike in Parklife and Industries, if you don’t maintain the objectives, you’ll actually lose levels. Each university starts at Unrecognised, eventually hitting Prestigious. Levelling up grants increased fees per student and more students will come to study from other cities. If you’re adding a Campus to an existing city, you’ll want to gradually move students over and close the current University buildings so that you benefit from tuition fee income.Īs with parks and specialised industrial areas, there’s objectives to meet to level up. |
