Hello, milan_morte.
Thank you for the details, that is what we needed to confirm.
In this case, the device triggering the SMART event is your Toshiba HDD, so there must be something going on with the unit, and this is why the alerts keeps showing up.
You can try contacting the HDD manufacturer for assistance on how to properly diagnose the device, as the Intel Memory and Storage Tool is only designed to work with Intel Optane products, and it shows the Intel optane Memory is fine, so this is no longer related to Intel
I'm not sure if this is the correct link, but you can try this one:
- https://storage.toshiba.com/consumer-hdd/support
If there is anything else I can try to do for you, or you have any other questions, please let us know, but if that is not the case I will close this community thread on August 31st.

It is a known issue that the RST subsystem may generate the odd spurious S.M.A.R.T. failure predictions. Seeing such an event occurring with regularity would have me concerned that this is NOT spurious and that you have a drive that is actually in trouble. In this case, you should be backing up the data stored on this drive and replacing this drive soonest.
Unfortunately, each drive vendor has their own interpretation of many of the S.M.A.R.T. attributes and what attribute and attribute values will be used to predict an imminent drive failure. As a result, it is impossible for the Intel tool to interpret all attributes in its display. You should thus be using the appropriate software from the drive vendor to display this information.
In any case, I would say that it is NOT a smart idea (pun intended) to disable the alerting of S.M.A.R.T. events.
Hope this helps,
...S

Hello @milan_morte
Thank you for your reply.
This message indicates a problem with SSD, Intel® Optane™ Memory, or their interaction with the system. Likely due to storage device issues or application's failure to detect expected volumes.
Given that you are using HDD, we will follow that process in the article:
For SSDs and HDDs:
- Some system and SSD manufacturers have included an option to test and fix SSD integrity.
- An option may be available in the system BIOS to test the integrity of an SSD. Check with the system vendor to confirm if this is available to test/fix storage devices.
- Utilities in the Windows* OS are also available. Refer to How to Check and Repair Your System Disk Drives for Integrity Issues for additional instructions.
- Check with the storage drive vendor for a tool that can run diagnostics on the drive. Intel, for example, provides the Intel Memory and Storage Tool.
- An option may be available in the system BIOS to test the integrity of an SSD. Check with the system vendor to confirm if this is available to test/fix storage devices.
Basically:
· Check BIOS Option: Access BIOS, find SSD test option, enable if available.
· Use Vendor Tool: Download official SSD diagnostic tool from manufacturer's site.
· Windows Utilities: Search "Check and Repair System Disk Drives," follow instructions.
· Run Tests: Execute chosen method, let tests finish.
· Follow Repair Steps: If issues are found, follow tool prompts for repair.
· Verify: Rerun tests to confirm resolution.
As @n_scott_pearson said, please try using the appropriate software from the drive vendor to display this information.
· Which software are you using to create the RAID?

Sorry for the confusion, my computer uses 1TB HDD storage + 16 GB Intel® Optane™ Memory.
And I have tried to go through the steps below:
- Once the Intel® Optane™ Memory is disabled access Command Prompt and clean the Intel® Optane™ Memory.
- Open an Administrator Command Prompt. (Click on the start menu icon, type Command Prompt and select Run as administrator).
- Type diskpart and press Enter.
- Type list disk to display a list of your connected storage devices. Here you should be able to see the Intel Optane memory module. Note the disk number.
- Type Select Disk # and press Enter. Make sure to adjust to match the disk number displayed for your module.
- Type Clean and press Enter. Diskpart will proceed to low-level format the memory module. Once the command completes the command prompt may be closed.
But, I am getting this error:
"Virtual Disk Service error:
Clean is not allowed on the disk containing the current boot,
system, pagefile, crashdump or hibernation volume."
What should I do?

I am unsure whether this information will be of assistance, but I have been encountering the problems that I have provided in the attached screenshot recently. Additionally, my computer has been exhibiting an unusual slowdown, progressively becoming slower over time. On occasion, I find myself waiting for up to five minutes before my computer responds to any actions I attempt to perform.
Thankyou in advance.

Hello, milan_morte.
I received your ticket regarding this particular issue with the SMART event, and I will be assisting you with this.
In this specific scenario, similarly to what n_scott_pearson and IsaacQ already mentioned, the best course of action is to confirm what is triggering this SMART event and what device it is coming from, and to do this, we must check the status of both storage devices: your Optane Memory and HDD.
Based on your last comment from this morning, I'm not sure if you managed to disable Optane Memory or not before trying to erase/clear the Optane, looks so please let me know what its current status is.
Disabling Optane Memory is important because erasing or removing it from the system may cause your current Windows installation to stop functioning, and also because we cannot properly diagnose each separate storage device when they are paired together as "Optane+HDD".
Here you can find information on how to disable the Optane Memory acceleration of the HDD, once this is done, both storage devices will be recognized separately and you can proceed to clean/erase the Optane using the steps previously provided:
After they are no longer paired, you can check the health status of the Optane Memory using the Intel Memory and Storage Tool:
- https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19543/intel-memory-and-storage-tool-gui.html
The user guide is available on the same page, and here you can check how to review the SMART attributes of the drive:
To check the health status of the HDD you will need to check with the HDD manufacturer.
If no problems are found, you can proceed to enable acceleration again using the Optane Memory and Storage Management software.
Regarding your most recent message and screenshots, those are Windows security settings not related to Intel, if you need information about that you will need to contact Microsoft.
Keep in mind that having a backup of your information is always recommended in case any critical system component fails.
I will follow up on August 30th just in case additional time is required.

Hello,
I managed to disable the Intel Optane Memory.
As per your suggestion, I used the Intel Memory and Storage Tool to check the health status of the memory. I have attached the XML files that I exported after following the steps.
- Download the Intel® Memory and Storage Tool GUI.
- Select the SMART option on the left panel.
- Select the drive in the drop down at the top right.
- The SMART attributes will be displayed in the tool's window. To export the information click the Blue Export button
Next, I followed these steps:
Intel® Memory and Storage Tool CLI (Command-Line Interface)
Download and Install the Intel® Memory and Storage Tool CLI (Command-Line Interface)
- Open the operating system command line interface:
[Windows*] Open Command Prompt as Administrator
Click Windows Start
Type Command Prompt
Click on Run as administrator
[Linux*] Open Terminal with root privileges
Press CTRL + ALT + T
Type sudo su
Ensure the command line interface begins with # and not $; as this indicates user has root privileges
- List SSD information and take note of the Index number of the drive(s).
Type intelmas.exe show -intelssd
- Display SMART attributes for the drive using the Index number.
Type intelmas.exe show -nvmelog smarthealthinfo -intelssd <ssd_index>
HERE IS WHAT I FOUND:
C:\Windows\System32>intelmas.exe show -intelssd

Hello,
Thankyou for your assistance.
As you see in the screenshoot, I disabled Intel® Optane™ Memory. Should I enable it or what?

Hello, milan_morte.
You can enable it again if you are not concerned about the SMART event or you already confirmed there are no problems, I'd say you can enable it again, but it would be good to confirm what the reason for the SMART event is or confirm with the manufacturer just in case.
If there are other questions, please let me know, and I will follow up on September 1st to provide additional time.

Hello, milan_morte.
Good day,
This message is to inform you about the closure of this support thread since there was no response from your part after I tried to follow up.
I previously shared that it is necessary to confirm the status of the Optane and HDD to confirm if other actions are necessary, and in this case with the SMART event being triggered by the HDD the best option was to confirm its health status first before enabling acceleration again, but there was no response and further questions did not take place.
The thread will be closed right now, and it will no longer be monitored by Intel support, but if you require any type of assistance from Intel in the future, just open a new thread, or contact us using any of the available support methods:
