(Predictive Failure Analysis)

Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) is a proprietary IBM technology for monitoring and diagnose the likelihood of hard disk drives to fail. The technology is based on measuring several key (mainly mechanical) parameters of the drive unit, for example heads flying height. The parameters are compared against predefined thresholds and the health status is evaluated by the drive firmware. If the drive is likely to fail soon, a notification is sent to the disk controller.
