## Description

Objects implementing this interface also implement the org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Drive interface.

## Method Details

### The SmartUpdate() method

    SmartUpdate (IN  a{sv} options);

Reads SMART data from the drive and update relevant properties.

If the option `nowakeup` is given and the disk is in a sleeping state, the error `org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.WouldWakeup` is returned.

The option `atasmart_blob` can be used to inject libatasmart compatible blobs for testing how clients react to different kinds of SMART data. This option may be removed in the future without it being considered an ABI break.

`IN a{sv} `options``: | Options - known options (in addition to standard options) includes `nowakeup` (of type 'b').

### The SmartGetAttributes() method

    SmartGetAttributes (IN  a{sv}            options,
                        OUT a(ysqiiixia{sv}) attributes);

Get the SMART attributes. Each attribute is a struct with the following members:

id (type 'y') | Attribute Identifier
name (type 's') | The identifier as a string.
flags (type 'q') | 16-bit attribute flags (bit 0 is prefail/oldage, bit 1 is online/offline).
value (type 'i') | The current value or -1 if unknown.
worst (type 'i') | The worst value of -1 if unknown.
threshold (type 'i') | The threshold or -1 if unknown.
pretty (type 'x') | An interpretation of the value - must be ignored if `pretty_unit` is 0.
pretty_unit (type 'i') | The unit of the `pretty` value - the following units are known: 0 (unknown), 1 (dimensionless), 2 (milliseconds), 3 (sectors), 4 (millikelvin).
expansion (type 'a{sv}') | Currently unused. Intended for future expansion.

The `name` parameter should be used as the authoritative identifier for the attribute since it is derived from the numerical `id` and the disk's `IDENTIFY` data and thus handles ID collisions between drives of different make and model.

`IN a{sv} `options``: | Options - known options (in addition to standard options) includes `nowakeup` (of type 'b').
`OUT a(ysqiiixia{sv}) `attributes``: | The SMART attributes.

### The SmartSelftestStart() method

    SmartSelftestStart (IN  s     type,
                        IN  a{sv} options);

Starts a SMART selftest. The `type` parameter is for the type of test to start - valid values are `short`, `extended` and `conveyance`.

Note that the method returns immediately after the test has been started successfully.

`IN s `type``: | The type test to run.
`IN a{sv} `options``: | Options (currently unused except for standard options).

### The SmartSelftestAbort() method

    SmartSelftestAbort (IN  a{sv} options);

Aborts a running SMART selftest.

`IN a{sv} `options``: | Options (currently unused except for standard options).

### The SmartSetEnabled() method

    SmartSetEnabled (IN  b     value,
                     IN  a{sv} options);

Sets whether SMART is enabled for the drive. This setting is stored in the non-volatile memory in the drive itself and does not need to be refreshed every time the drive is powered on or connected.

Since this may require authentication and thus may fail, it is implemented this way instead of the "SmartEnabled" property being writable.

`IN b `value``: | `TRUE` to enable SMART, `FALSE` to disable SMART.
`IN a{sv} `options``: | Options (currently unused except for standard options).

Since 2.0.0

### The PmGetState() method

    PmGetState (IN  a{sv} options,
                OUT y     state);

Get the current power mode status. This is implemented as a method call as it involves sending a command from the host to the drive and no change notification is available.

The format of `state` is the result obtained from sending the ATA command “CHECK POWER MODE” to the drive. Known values include

0x00 | Standby
0x80 | Idle
0xff | Active/Idle

Typically user interfaces will report "Drive is spun down" if `state` is 0x00 and "Drive is spun up" otherwise.

`IN a{sv} `options``: | Options (currently unused except for standard options).
`OUT y `state``: | The current power state.

### The PmStandby() method

    PmStandby (IN  a{sv} options);

Force the drive to immediately enter the low power consumption standby mode, usually causing it to spin down. This is done by sending the ATA command “STANDBY IMMEDIATE” to the drive.

`IN a{sv} `options``: | Options (currently unused except for standard options).

### The PmWakeup() method

    PmWakeup (IN  a{sv} options);

Force the drive to immediately wake up (exiting the low power consumption standby mode), usually causing it to spin up. This is done by reading data from the disk.

`IN a{sv} `options``: | Options (currently unused except for standard options).

### The SecurityEraseUnit() method

    SecurityEraseUnit (IN  a{sv} options);

Does all the necessary checks and preparations and then sends the “SECURITY ERASE UNIT” command to the drive. If the option `enhanced` is set to `TRUE` an enhanced secure erase is requested.

All data on the drive will be irrevocably erased.

This operation takes either "SecurityEraseUnitMinutes" or "SecurityEnhancedEraseUnitMinutes" minutes to complete depending on whether the `enhanced` option is `TRUE`.

`IN a{sv} `options``: | Options - known options (in addition to standard options) includes `enhanced` (of type 'b').
