1.2Operation Confirmation

1.2.1 Operation test

When the host computer is processing data, the disk drive monitors disk drive operation errors including data, command, and seek errors. The host is notified of the error that the disk drive detected and the user is notified of its result.

The user may notice intermittent and indefinite failures such as overlong execution time, abnormal noise, abnormal odor, or failures in particular processes.

The failure reported in the operation test will need further investigation. To ascertain the cause of the disk drive failure reported, the disk drive can be replaced. Failures in the operation test are often not caused by the host system.
