The value of the read error rate attribute has reached its

 

 

threshold.

 

 

 

 

14

The value of the G-list update frequency attribute has

 

 

reached its threshold.

 

 

 

 

41

The value of the write error rate attribute has reached its

 

 

threshold.

 

 

 

 

43

The value of the seek error rate attribute has reached its

 

 

threshold.

 

 

 

 

56

The value of the spin-up attribute has reached its threshold.

 

 

 

 

64

The value of the number-of-remaining-alternate-sectors

 

 

attribute has reached its threshold.

 

 

 

 

FF

Reporting in TEST mode.

 

 

 

0B

01

The device temperature has exceeded its threshold.

 

 

 

Failure prediction data is always logged and analyzed regardless of the setting of the "DExcpt" bit (MODE SELECT parameter on page 1C). (The "DExcpt" bit value specifies whether to allow reporting as described in Section 7.6.4.)

7.6.3Failure prediction method

a.Read error rate attribute

The HDD monitors the number of read errors that have occurred during read processing, in relation to the number of sectors that have been actually read and the number of sectors contained in the sample. If the number of read errors reaches the threshold, the HDD considers that a failure prediction reporting condition has developed.

The read sectors and read errors counted include those involved in read processing that was explicitly performed by READ commands or performed by the Read Ahead Cache function.
