Hard Drive SMART Immediate Failure Information

Test Group 2602

Device Hard Drives

This group tests Hard Drives. Hard Drives consist of one or more rigid (hence 'hard') rapidly rotating discs, coated with magnetic material and with magnetic heads arranged to write data to the surfaces and read it from them.

Tests are available to verify the head actuator mechanism, reliability of the recording medium, report the S.M.A.R.T. status, and possibility of imminent drive failure. You can also run the manufacturer's built in self tests.

Note: Hard Drives offer large storage capacities. A coverage of 100% will exhaustive test all parts of the media, but will also take a long time to complete.

Test Number 401

Test Name S.M.A.R.T. Immediate

A 'threshold exceeded' value is intended to indicate that there is a relatively high probability that the drive will not be able to honour its specification in the future: that is, it's 'about to fail'. The predicted failure may be catastrophic, or may be something as subtle as inability to write to certain sectors, or slower performance than the manufacturer's minimum.

Estimated Test Time 2s to 10s

Parameter 5 S.M.A.R.T Diagnostic Threshold

Specifies the maximum permitted error count in the comprehensive S.M.A.R.T error log

Parameter 6 Ignore S.M.A.R.T Error Log

Specifies any error count in the comprehensive S.M.A.R.T error log will be ignored 

ERRORCODES & TROUBLESHOOTING

Device_ID VALUE unknown (exceeds array depth). CODE="0x00/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING3: A program error, such as a memory allocation failure. Check for BIOS updates. The test was inconclusive.

Device is too small to test. CODE="0x01/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING 0: The disk appears to be faulty. Disk errors can sometimes be caused by power loss.

Device read failed. CODE="0x02/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING 0: The disk appears to be faulty. Disk errors can sometimes be caused by power loss.

S.M.A.R.T. interface not supported. CODE="0x03/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING2: The disk does not appear to support this kind of test. Check to see if S.M.A.R.T. feature has been disabled in the BIOS. 

S.M.A.R.T. disabled or not supported by device. CODE="0x04/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING2: The disk does not appear to support this kind of test. Check to see if S.M.A.R.T. feature has been disabled in the BIOS. 

S.M.A.R.T. failed. CODE="0x05/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING1: S.M.A.R.T. testing has failed. A fault or imminent fault is detected with the disk. 

Requested S.M.A.R.T. test not supported by device. CODE="0x06/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING2: The disk does not appear to support this kind of test. Check to see if S.M.A.R.T. feature has been disabled in the BIOS. 

Standby immediate command failed. CODE="0x07/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING 0: The disk appears to be faulty. Disk errors can sometimes be caused by power loss.

Device write failed. CODE="0x08/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING 0: The disk appears to be faulty. Disk errors can sometimes be caused by power loss.

Read written data mismatch. CODE="0x09/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING 0: The disk appears to be faulty. Disk errors can sometimes be caused by power loss.

A S.M.A.R.T. attribute reached or below the acceptable threshold value. CODE="0x0A/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING1: S.M.A.R.T. testing has failed. A fault or imminent fault is detected with the disk. 

A S.M.A.R.T. comprehensive log error count at or exceeding the acceptable limit. CODE="0x0B/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING1: S.M.A.R.T. testing has failed. A fault or imminent fault is detected with the disk. 

Internal error, undersized buffer. CODE="0x0C/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING3:A program error, such as a memory allocation failure. Check for BIOS updates. The test was inconclusive.
