    122122Note that if an Attribute is of type 'Pre-fail', it does not mean that your disk is about to fail!
    123123It only has this meaning if the Attribute's current Normalized value is less than or equal to the threshold value.

     124<a name="When_Udated"></a><h4>Column Updated</h4>
    125125Some SMART attributes values, that are updated only during <em>off-line data collection</em> activities are labeled "Offline" in column "UPDATED".
     126<a name="When_Failed"></a><h4>Column "When Failed"</h4>
     127If the Attribute's current "Normalized value" is less than or equal to the threshold value, then the attribute is marked with "FAILING_NOW" in column WHEN_FAILED.
