RECOVERED ERROR

1) Indicates that the command which was executed last was terminated normally

 

 

with a recovery operation by the HDD. If multiple errors which were

 

 

successfully recovered from during processing of a single command occurred,

 

 

the last error to have occurred is reported.

 

 

2) Rounding processing of the MODE SELECT parameter was performed.

NOT READY

The disk drive is not in a state where it can be accessed.

 

 

 

3

MEDIUM

An irrecoverable error was detected due to a defect in the disk media or an error in

 

ERROR

the recorded data.

 

 

 

4

HARDWARE ERROR

The HDD detected an error in the hardware for which recovery processing is impossible

 

 

during command execution or self-diagnosis.

 

 

 

5

ILLEGAL REQUEST

An illegal value was detected in the parameter transferred in the CDB or the

 

 

specification in the command. Also, an error in the LUN specification. If the

 

 

HDD detects an illegal parameter in the CDB, it terminates the command without

 

 

changing the contents of the disk media. If an illegal parameter is detected in the

 

 

parameters transferred from the INIT, the contents of the disk media may be

 

 

changed by that command.
