Over three years ago I emailed you a patch for adding some SMART parameters and it's never been merged or even discussed.

I'm now attaching the patch from that email in hope that you'll finally take a look at it and maybe merge it.

It looks like smartctl tools cannot properly handle the SanDisk SDSSDA240G drive: whenever I try to run long/short/etc. tests, they are not stored in the SMART log. According to "Self-test execution status" they are indeed run.

SanDisk SSD Dashboard utility can run both short and long tests but no matter which test is run, short logs are always recorded:

SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num  Test_Description    Status                  Remaining  LifeTime(hours)  LBA_of_first_error
# 1  Short offline       Completed without error       00%        36         -
# 2  Short offline       Completed without error       00%        35         -
# 3  Short offline       Completed without error       00%        30         -
# 4  Short offline       Completed without error       00%        18         -
# 5  Short offline       Completed without error       00%         5         -

Also LifeTime is completely wrong. I've used this drive for at least 1000 hours.

SanDisk SSD Dashboard utility does not show logs at all.

I'm curious what's going on, whether it's special firmware which is not handled correctly or some issue with my drive.

NVM Express Revision 1.3 adds optional Device Self-tests. This includes a short and an extended self-test operation and a Device Self-test log page.

This should be supported by smartctl (-t TEST, -l selftest) and smartd (-l selftest, -s REGEXP).
