Life timestamp shall contain the power-on lifetime of the device in hours when the nth self-test subcommand was completed.

Content of the self-test failure checkpoint byte may contain additional information about the self-test that failed.

The failing LBA shall be the LBA of the sector that caused the test to fail. If the device encountered more than one failed sector during the test, this field shall indicate the LBA of the first failed sector encountered. If the test passed or the test failed for some reason other than a failed sector, the value of this field is undefined.

11.8.43.3.4 Data structure checksum

The data structure checksum is the two's complement of the sum of the first 511 bytes in the data structure. Each byte shall be added with unsigned arithmetic, and overflow shall be ignored. The sum of all 512 bytes is zero when the checksum is correct. The checksum is placed in byte 511.
