Item Description 
Power ON Hours 

Count of hours in power-on state. The raw value of this attribute 

shows total count of hours (or minutes, or seconds, depending 
on manufacturer) in power-on state. 

Reallocated Sector 
Count 

Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a 
read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" 

and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). 

This process is also known as remapping and "reallocated" 
sectors are called remaps. This is why, on a modern hard disks, 

you can not see "bad blocks" while testing the surface - all bad 

blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, the more 

sectors that are reallocated, the more a decrease (up to 10% or 
more) can be noticed in disk read/write speeds. 

Current Pending 
Sector 

Current count of unstable sectors (waiting for remapping). The 
raw value of this attribute indicates the total number of sectors 

waiting for remapping. Later, when some of these sectors are 

read successfully, the value is decreased. If errors still occur 
when reading sectors, the hard drive will try to restore the data, 

transfer it to the reserved disk area (spare area), and mark this 

sector as remapped. If this attribute value remains at zero, it 

indicates that the quality of the corresponding surface area is 
low.
