an RAID array.

Wrg Intfc

disks.

Pred Fail

Indicates whether device SMART is predicting device failure (Yes,
No).

Size(MB)

Indicates the size of the device in megabytes (megabyte = 1024 x 1024
= 1,048,576). If the device is part of a two-disk array, this field reflects
the size of the array, not the size of the individual disk. If the device
is part of a three or more disk array, this field is the size that the disk
makes up within the array. When creating a striped array, the usable
size of the array is determined by the number of drives times the size
of the smallest drive in the array. In arrays consisting of different
sized drives, excess space on larger drives are unusable.
