SMART Return Status (subcommand DAh)
This subcommand is used to communicate the reliability status of the device to the host's request. Upon receipt of the SMART Return Status subcommand the device saves any updated Attribute Values to the reserved sector, and compares the updated Attribute Values to the Attribute Thresholds.
SMART Enable/Disable Automatic Off-line (subcommand DBh)
This subcommand enables and disables the optional feature that cause the device to perform the set of off-line data collection activities that automatically collect attribute data in an off-line mode and then save this data to the device's nonvolatile memory. This subcommand may either cause the device to automatically initiate or resume performance of its off-line data collection activities or cause the automatic off-line data collection feature to be disabled. This subcommand also enables and disables the off-line read scanning feature that cause the device to perform the entire read scanning with defect reallocation as the part of the off-line data collection activities. The Sector Count register shall be set to specify the feature to be enabled or disabled:
Sector Count | Feature Description |
00h | Disable Automatic Off-line |
F8h | Enable Automatic Off-line |
A value of zero written by the host into the device's Sector Count register before issuing this subcommand shall cause the automatic off-line data collection feature to be disabled. Disabling this feature does not preclude the device from saving attribute values to nonvolatile memory during some other normal operation such as during a power-on, during a power-off sequence, or during an error recovery sequence. A value of F8h written by the host into the device's Sector Count register before issuing this subcommand shall cause the automatic Off-line data collection feature to be enabled. Any other non-zero value written by the host into this register before issuing this subcommand is vendor specific and will not change the current Automatic Off-Line Data Collection and Off-line Read Scanning status. However, the device may respond with the error code specified in “SMART Error Codes”.
