Travelstar 5K160 (SATA) Hard Disk Drive Specification
14.16.2.1Error Log version
The value of this version shall be 01h.
14.16.2.2Error log index
This indicates the error log data structure representing the most recent error. If there have been no error log entries, it is cleared to 0. Valid values for the error log index are 0 to 4.
14.16.2.3Extended Error log data structure
An error log data structure shall be presented for each of the last four errors reported by the device. These error log data structure entries are viewed as a circular buffer. The fifth error shall create an error log structure that replaces the first error log data structure. The next error after that shall create an error log data structure that replaces the second error log structure, etc.
Unused error log data structures shall be filled with zeros. Data format of each error log structure is shown below.
