Solid State Drive Random Read Test Failure Information

Group 7002

Device Solid State Drives

This group is for solid state drives (SSD). A SSD is a data storage device that uses solid state memory to fulfil the role that a hard disk drive (HDD) would traditionally provide in a system.

SSDs are distinguished from traditional magnetic disks, HDDs, which are electromechanical devices containing spinning disks and movable read-write heads. By contrast, SSDs retain data in flash memory chips and so contain no moving parts. Compared to HDDs, SSDs are typically less susceptible to physical shock, are silent, have lower access time and latency, but lower capacity.

To act as drop in replacements for HDDs, many SSDs use the same interfaces as hard disk drives, but higher performance SSDs require dedicated connection types such as NVMe.

Test Number 402

Test Name Random Read

Exercises a drive's read capability using pseudo-random read addresses (these are randomly generated using a fixed computational process). Success or failure of each read is monitored.

PARAM1:Duration

Time to run the test for, in seconds.

PARAM3:Maximum Errors

Continues to test until the maximum number of errors is reached, only errors directly associated with reading the drive.

ERRORCODES & TROUBLESHOOTING

Device_ID VALUE unknown (Exceeds array depth). CODE="0x00/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING4: 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"

TROUBLESHOOTING0: The disk appears to be faulty.

Device read failed. CODE="0x02/005"

TROUBLESHOOTING0: The disk appears to be faulty.

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. 

ATA Pass through identify device failed. CODE="0x07/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING0: The disk appears to be faulty.

ATA device does not support power features. CODE="0x08/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING3: The disk does not appear to support this kind of test. Check to see if power feature has been disabled in the BIOS. 

Standby immediate test failed. CODE="0x0A/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING0: The disk appears to be faulty.

Device write failed. CODE="0x0B/005"

TROUBLESHOOTING0: The disk appears to be faulty.

Read back data mismatch. CODE="0x0C/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING0: The disk appears to be faulty.

A S.M.A.R.T. attribute reached or below the acceptable threshold value. CODE="0x0D/015"

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="0x0E/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="0x0F/3FF"

TROUBLESHOOTING4: A program error, such as a memory allocation failure. Check for BIOS updates. The test was inconclusive.

S.M.A.R.T. self test failed. CODE="0x10/080"

TROUBLESHOOTING1: S.M.A.R.T. testing has failed. A fault or imminent fault is detected with the disk.
