Pc-Check Windows NVMe Intelligent Scan Test Failure Information

Group Number 780X

Device NVMe Drives

Non-Volatile Memory Host Controller Interface Specification (NVMHCI) is a logical device interface specification for accessing non-volatile storage media attached via PCI Express (PCIe) bus. 'NVM' stands for 'non-volatile memory', which is commonly flash memory that comes in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs). NVM Express (NVMe), as a logical device interface, has been designed to capitalize on the low latency and internal parallelism of flash-based storage devices, mirroring the parallelism of contemporary CPUs, platforms and applications.

Test Number 306

Intelligent NVM Scan

The Intelligent Scan algorithm is a unique alternative to traditional Linear Read testing that provides a big time saving benefit when scanning large media for issues such as bad sectors, with little to no loss of test accuracy.

Estimated Test Time Dependent on media size and data

PARAM10: Intelligent NVM Scan Speed

Specifies the speed setting for the intelligent scan test, (3 is fastest)

ERRORCODES & TROUBLESHOOTING

Unable to read drive information. CODE=0x00/001

TROUBLESHOOTING1: There has been a failure accessing or reading from the drive. The drive may be faulty.

Unable to read from drive. CODE=0x01/005

TROUBLESHOOTING1: There has been a failure accessing or reading from the drive. The drive may be faulty.

Unable to set drive position pointer. CODE=0x02/005

TROUBLESHOOTING1: There has been a failure accessing or reading from the drive. The drive may be faulty.

Unable to open access to the drive. CODE=0x03/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING1: There has been a failure accessing or reading from the drive. The drive may be faulty.

Read data size mismatch. CODE=0x04/006

TROUBLESHOOTING1: There has been a failure accessing or reading from the drive. The drive may be faulty.

The NVMe drive does not support S.M.A.R.T. CODE=0x05/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING0: A S.M.A.R.T. failure has been detected. This may be caused by a temporary problem such as overheating or lack of spare disk space, or could be an indication of a imminently failing drive.

TROUBLESHOOTING3: The device does not appear to support this test. Check the test descriptions manual for the test requirements.

Unable to get S.M.A.R.T. information. CODE=0x06/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING0: A S.M.A.R.T. failure has been detected. This may be caused by a temporary problem such as overheating or lack of spare disk space, or could be an indication of a imminently failing drive.

TROUBLESHOOTING3: The device does not appear to support this test. Check the test descriptions manual for the test requirements.

S.M.A.R.T. estimated life outside of tolerance. CODE=0x07/080

TROUBLESHOOTING0: A S.M.A.R.T. failure has been detected. This may be caused by a temporary problem such as overheating or lack of spare disk space, or could be an indication of a imminently failing drive.

S.M.A.R.T. data integrity errors outside of tolerance. CODE=0x08/080

TROUBLESHOOTING0: A S.M.A.R.T. failure has been detected. This may be caused by a temporary problem such as overheating or lack of spare disk space, or could be an indication of a imminently failing drive.

S.M.A.R.T. NVMe reliability failure detected. CODE=0x09/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING0: A S.M.A.R.T. failure has been detected. This may be caused by a temporary problem such as overheating or lack of spare disk space, or could be an indication of a imminently failing drive.

S.M.A.R.T. volatile memory failure detected. CODE=0x0A/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING0: A S.M.A.R.T. failure has been detected. This may be caused by a temporary problem such as overheating or lack of spare disk space, or could be an indication of a imminently failing drive.

S.M.A.R.T. drive capacity failure detected. CODE=0x0B/080

TROUBLESHOOTING0: A S.M.A.R.T. failure has been detected. This may be caused by a temporary problem such as overheating or lack of spare disk space, or could be an indication of a imminently failing drive.

S.M.A.R.T. temperature failure detected. CODE=0x0C/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING0: A S.M.A.R.T. failure has been detected. This may be caused by a temporary problem such as overheating or lack of spare disk space, or could be an indication of a imminently failing drive.

S.M.A.R.T. drive read only state detected. CODE=0x0D/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING0: A S.M.A.R.T. failure has been detected. This may be caused by a temporary problem such as overheating or lack of spare disk space, or could be an indication of a imminently failing drive.

The temperature result was outside the tolerance. CODE=0x0E/019

TROUBLESHOOTING2: The retrieved value from the sensor is outside the tolerance. Check the system information for your drive to ensure the correct parameter values are being used.

Temperature sensors are not found. CODE=0x0F/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING3: The device does not appear to support this test. Check the test descriptions manual for the test requirements.

Drive size is smaller than the minimum size required to run this test. CODE=0x10/3FF

TROUBLESHOOTING1: There has been a failure accessing or reading from the drive. The drive may be faulty.
