5.1.2.2Off-line Mode

SSD’s support the optional 28-bit S.M.A.R.T. EXECUTION OFF-LINE IMMEDIATE (B0h/D4h) command per the ATA-8 specification. This command causes the SSD to initiate the collection of S.M.A.R.T. data in an off-line mode and then preserves this data across power and reset events. Supported subcommands include those shown in the table below. Reference the ATA-8 specification for subcommand detail.
