Description

Power Cycle Count S.M.A.R.T. parameter is an informational parameter and indicates the count of full hard disk power on/off cycles.

Recommendations

This parameter is considered informational by the most hardware vendors. Although degradation of this parameter can be an indicator of drive aging and/or potential electromechanical problems, it does not directly indicate imminent drive failure. Regular backup is recommended. Pay closer attention to other parameters and overall drive health.
