Good day,
When in the S.M.A.R.T. screen, at the lower right there is a list of Flags e.g. TMC, LBIN. Do you have an available list of all of the meanings?
Thanks. Cal

The flags you mentioned are related to SCSI/SAS drives:

TMC = Threshold Met Criteria, shows the relation between the threshold and the current value
LBIN = Binary Format List, suggests that the entry should be interpreted as binary data

You can find other flags in SCSI Primary Commands reference.

For example this file: https://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.08/08-309r1.pdf
is a very old standard but can help (newer standards may be not publicly available).
See page 250 for details, for possible other flags too (DU, DS, TSD, ETC, LP, etc..)

Thank you. I'm working through some RAID problems with new SATA drives.

A techie at the controller card supplier thought that HDS would help. It has.
